Love as a Disease

A poisoned heir finds his life hanging by a thread after the Empress marks him for death. Into his sickroom steps a brilliant physician who sees his fading health not as a tragedy but as a fascinating puzzle to solve. Her clever, playful determination collides with the dangers of a court where every cup of tea could be the last. Their unlikely partnership begins as a battle of wits against a poison and a ruler who will not forgive him.
