Synopsis

In 1915, New York, Kate Livingston is the most desirable debutante of the season. Between her fiery hair and her matching temper, more than the weather is heating up this summer! As the clock ticks, Kate is forced to put aside her dreams of true love and a life of adventure to save her family from financial ruin. She must marry the richest bachelor she can find, but when she meets a handsome stranger, her heart is torn between duty and love. When War breaks out, she leaves her own problems behind to serve as a nurse on the Western Front. Amidst the blood and bandages another kind of love finds her. Lucy Cook, daughter of missionaries in Hawaii, attended boarding school back east becoming fast friends and living lavishly with Kate Livingston. After graduation, and one last summer together exploring the Wild West, Lucy carries more than a few secrets as she returns home to Hawaii. Innocence has never looked so enticing as Lucy dances with naval officers, dines with the queen, and dodges scandal on luscious Hawaiian shores. Abigail Martin uses deception to make her way to San Francisco in search of her brother, enlisting the help of a mysterious ally. But nothing is as it seems in the city built on the bones, blood, and bodies of trafficked Chinese slaves! With her sharp mind for business and guarded heart for love, strength finds vulnerability for Abigail in the lust filled hills of San Francisco. With World War I on the horizon, these three unlikely friends must face separation from the men they love, each other, and the women they once were. Follow them as they break hearts, societal expectations, and all of the rules for friendship, desire, and of course, love.
