The Venetian Contract

1576. A Turkish ship steals into Venice bearing a secret stowaway. Feyra, a young and beautiful harem doctor is risking everything to bring a vital message to the Doge. But Feyra is not the only stranger in Venice. The ship carried a deadly cargo: a man more dead than alive. Within days the city is infected with bubonic plague. In despair the Doge commissions a church so magnificent that God will save Venice - and he commands the finest plague doctor to keep its architect Palladio alive to fulfill his work. But what Dr Annibale Cason has not counted on is Feyra. Now in hiding, she can not only match Annibale's medical skills, she can also teach him how to care.
