Nightshade

Book One of the Deadly Botanicals Series

1837 Glasgow Scotland.

A young clergyman’s life is transformed when God uses a bold amnesiac woman, implicated in murder, to challenge his faith.

Guilt-ridden and desperate to escape the specter of mental illness, Reverend Ewan Chandler volunteers at an insane asylum, searching for freedom in its dark halls. Championing the innocence of an incoherent woman offers his only chance for redemption. Catherine has no recollection of her past, no way to fight a circumstantial shadow of murder threatening her very life. Amidst homicides, poisonings, and remnants of the outlawed slave trade, Ewan and Catherine have no idea who to trust. Although they confess their love, each is unwilling to share the last of their dark secrets.

Caught in a whirlwind of danger and intrigue, can Ewan and his mysterious woman come to know the true depth of God's forgiveness and realize that a promise is only as good as its giver?
