As a biochemist, Doctor Rosalind Werner has dedicated her life to the crusade against waterborne diseases and amid the glamor of early 1900s New York, she is at the forefront of a groundbreaking technology that will change the way water is delivered to every household in the city--if only she and her team can get people to believe in their work.  
  
Newly appointed Commissioner of Water for New York, Nickolas 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.

    Wonderful

    Rosaline Werner and Nicholas Drake : two people who want the same thing. But two people who fundamentally disagree on the best process, to the point where their factions are fighting it out in court. It's a plot that isn't going to allow for compromise. Rosaline will win, or Nicholas will win. Unless Rosaline can convince Nicholas to change his mind . . . \\r\\n\\r\\nIt's a unique concept for a novel. Plumbing. Water. Dams. Chlorination. Filtration. Most of us in developed countries take safe drinking water for granted, and it's hard to believe that it's only been a little over a century since the idea was mooted, accepted, and popularised. Elizabeth Camden is known for taking little-known and intriguing historical factoids and turning them into compelling historical novels with plenty of romance and more than a little suspense. \\r\\n\\r\\nA Daring Venture is the story of clean, disease-free water, and some of the people who helped change our world for the better by fighting for what was right. \\r\\n\\r\\nA Daring Venture is an excellent novel with a unique premise. Recommended for fans of historical fiction, especially romances and novels with a basis in historical fact. I hope there will be a sequel, because I want to see more of Nicholas and his growing family. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Bethany House and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
