Description
Newly appointed Commissioner of Water for New York, Nicholas Drake is highly skeptical of Rosalind and her team's techniques. When a brewing court case throws him into direct confrontation with her, he is surprised by his reaction to the lovely scientist.
While Rosalind and Nick wage a private war against their own attraction, they stand firmly on opposite sides of a battle that will impact far more than just their own lives. As the controversy grows more public and inflammatory and Rosalind becomes the target of an unknown enemy, the odds stacked against these two rivals swiftly grow more insurmountable with every passing day.

In A Daring Venture, biochemist Dr. Rosalind Werner works tirelessly in her waterborne diseases research with Dr. Leal. Being a woman prevents others from taking her seriously, specifically the Water Commissioner Nicholas Drake. He is wary of her techniques, especially when she goes to court to win approval for introducing chlorine – a dangerous chemical – into the city’s drinking water. Rosalind is unaware that Leal is planning to release the chlorine secretly until she overhears a conversation. She is forced to keep Leal’s plan from Nick. What else can she do?
Both are unaware of the reasons behind the other person’s passion in the water treatment issue. While they are fighting one another, they are also fighting an attraction to one another. But when an unseen enemy targets Rosalind, they find themselves on the same side. Will they find the perpetrator before anyone gets seriously hurt?
Camden writes historical novels filled with excellent storytelling, strong but flawed characters, and descriptive narratives. Unlike her other books, the faith element is minimal in this book. The romance is clean and wholesome, and the reader is drawn into the lives of the characters. Despite the significant amount of historical detail, the reader is not overwhelmed – it is carefully woven into the text.

A long time favorite author of mine! I couldn't wait to get this book and I so enjoyed it!
She's an amazing author who does her research well so that an excellent story like this can reach her readers.
I love her style of writing. Why you ask? Because she has this charm of pulling her readers into the story before they know what is happening. I love a book that can make you hold your breath waiting to see what happens next. This author has that magic.
I learned so much from this book. This book reminds me of the movie Erin Brochovich where the water was making people sick.
The characters and supporting characters are wonderful and so is the amazing plot. Readers are sure to learn a lot like I did!! Education at it's best! So much better than the classroom.
This book made me stop and think about the chemical we used today known as Chlorine. It is used to kill bacteria or other things that are in our water. Especially in swimming pools.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it
My thanks to Netgalley. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own.
