As the curator of the costume collection at the Fashion Institute of Chicago, Athena Smith lives and breathes couture dresses. They’re her entire life. And while she’s in a vast underground bunker where the Institute houses their private collection of vintage couture clothing, examining the dresses, she falls desperately ill and is rushed to the hospital. Word around town is that Athena has been poisoned. Dr. Drew Montgomery, a physician at Northwestern Hospital, knows all about Athena’s gal-about-town reputation. He’s seen her picture in the society rags and he can barely contain his disdain. But he’s perplexed by her illness. As they together unravel the secrets behind her illness to figure out who might have poisoned her and why, an attraction blooms between this society gal and this no-nonsense doctor. But is love enough to keep them together?
I haven’t read anything by this author before but the cover of this book caught my eye and the blurb for the book has me curious to try her out. Has anyone read her before and have any thoughts or opinions to share with me on her writing ability? I’d appreciate anything. I’m mighty curious about this one.
