The Sapphire Brooch

A trauma surgeon swept into the past, and a Union spy determined to change history.

Dr. Charlotte Mallory is a trauma surgeon trained to save lives under pressure, but no simulated battlefield prepares her for the moment an ancient sapphire brooch hurls her from the Battle of Cedar Creek into the bloody reality of the actual Civil War.

Captured by Union forces, she is hauled before President Lincoln, who has a mission for her: infiltrate a Confederate hospital and save his top spy.

When primitive 19th-century medicine fails, Charlotte decides to save Major Braham McCabe—using her magic brooch to pull him into the future to heal.

But peace is short-lived. Upon discovering that President Lincoln is assassinated, Braham becomes obsessed with changing the past.

Manipulating an unsuspecting ally, Elliott Fraser, to obtain a second brooch left behind in 1853, Braham plunges back into history on a rogue mission to save the Commander-in-Chief.

Terrified that he will unravel the future, Charlotte and her brother, Jack, follow him. They plunge headfirst into a nightmare of wartime espionage, navigating a collapsing Confederacy where one wrong move means brutal incarceration in the notorious Castle Thunder prison.

As Richmond burns and the fatal shot echoes through Ford’s Theatre, history shatters. In the tragic aftermath of a mission gone wrong, the scales of time cruelly flip: the future that once held Braham captive is replaced by a past that now traps a member of Charlotte's own family. Caught in a tightening net of suspicion and wartime justice, Charlotte and Braham are forced to face the ultimate truth: some pieces of history cannot be changed without costing them the very love they crossed centuries to find.

The Sapphire Brooch is a sweeping, fast-paced time-travel romance filled with high-stakes historical intrigue.
