An Ocean of Stars: A sweeping historical romance for fans of The Gilded Age, livre audio

Boston, 1879. Phoebe Van Bergen wants more than a life of silk gowns and society balls. She has poured everything into the Van Bergen Women’s Hospital—her inheritance, her defiance, her desperate need to be more than society’s gilded ornament. Within its cramped wards, she matters.

Dr. Douglas McLennan, a brilliant but haunted Scottish doctor, arrives with secrets of his own. Sparks fly as their ambitions—and hearts—collide, forging an unexpected partnership.

When tragedy strikes, both must choose between the safety of their pasts and the promise of something more. Can Phoebe defy society’s expectations and chart her own course—and can Douglas let go of his ghosts to embrace a future he never imagined?

From the opulent ballrooms of Gilded Age Boston to the wild beauty of the Scottish coast, this unforgettable tale of passion, ambition, and the power of love to mend even the most broken of hearts is perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Amy Harmon and Olivia Hawker.
