As a biochemist in early 1900s New York, Doctor Rosalind Werner
has dedicated her life to the crusade against waterborne diseases.
She is at the forefront of a groundbreaking technology that will
change the way water is delivered to every household in the
city--but only if she can get people to believe in her
work.
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.
”Camden weaves together a delightful story of intrigue and
love..."--Publishers Weekly on

discussed...Readers of Roseanna White’s books will love this
story."--Christian Market
“Elizabeth Camden is in a league of her own when it comes to
masterfully writing progressive-era fiction. Clearly defined
characters, a vivid setting and fascinating history are her
hallmarks, and she delivers these to readers once again in her
second Empire State novel. . . . Sizzling kisses, scientific
breakthroughs and the highs and lows of the progressive-era society
all come together to shape a story that is as compelling as it is
engaging."--RT Book Reviews
"Fabulous historical tales can be hard to come by which
is why I treasure the work of Elizabeth Camden. Able to combine
real history with sweet romance, she is a master of her craft. . .
. The story’s inspirational factor is simple, sincere and fits with
the time. It doesn’t overwhelm the reader or become preachy. A
Daring Venture is a charming story of love finding a way through
disparate personalities and dreams. . . . I would recommend this
tale to anyone who loves historicals that interweave their romances
with real history."--All About
Romance
“Camden’s latest inspirational romance is set during the glitz and
glamour of turn-of-the-century New York. . . . Family ties and
dangerous enemies enliven Camden’s story, which is based on Dr.
John Leal’s pioneering work to eradicate waterborne diseases in
Jersey City, New Jersey, in the early 1900s."--Booklist

expertise as a research librarian to ground this dramatic

pace. Suggest to historical romance fans and those who read for
character and a fast-moving plot."--Library
