Can a disillusioned doctor and a fallen woman build a future together in 19th-century Dublin when society is determined to keep them apart?
Dublin, Ireland, 1880.
Dr Will Fitzgerald has everything a man could want - status, a thriving medical practice, a home on Merrion Square, and a respectable future mapped out for him.
He walks away from it all.
Determined to treat the poor in the Liberties, Will earns his parents' disapproval and loses his fiancée. But on the eve of his best friend's wedding, one reckless night leads him into a brothel - and into the path of a woman society has already cast aside.
Isobel Stevens was raised to be a lady - until one mistake destroyed her future. Disowned by her father and alone in Dublin, she has fallen further than she ever imagined.
When Will suggests she leave the brothel and enter domestic service, she takes the chance: a new life, respectability, a second chance.
But in a city that never forgets - and never forgives - Isobel's past may follow her everywhere.
And as Will and Isobel grow closer, the truth becomes harder to hide - and more dangerous than either of them realise.
Can they build a future together, or will society tear them apart?
