Felicity Cole sells flowers in the streets of Victorian London to feed herself and her young brother. But she has a close-guarded secret―her brother is a Tainted, born with special abilities that society fears and a shadowy organization called the Hunstsman scours the country to eliminate. When Felicity becomes the target of one of these individuals, she discovers something horrible: she’s Tainted, too. Rescued by a mysterious gentleman on the eve of execution, she's whisked away to a school funded by Queen Victoria, established to train selected Tainted into assassins in service of the crown. Struggling to harness her incredible strength, speed, and agility, and despised by her classmates, all she wants is to use her new position to find a cure so she can be normal and reunited with her brother. But with the Golden Jubilee fast approaching and the discovery that there’s a traitor in their midst, she has no choice but to embrace the one thing she’s been fighting all along.

Some writers receive their calling in childhood, and chart their course from there. I received mine at a somewhat more inconvenient life stage: in my first year of medical school. Growing up, reading and writing fiction had always been my first love. My second just happened to be performing dissections in biology class. Creative pursuits took a back seat when I discovered science and began charting a path to a career in medicine. But not long after starting med school my childhood fascination with books came flooding back to me. I was on my way to becoming a doctor…but I also loved to write. Was there a way to do both? I didn’t drop out of med school–despite being frequently tempted–but, instead, started writing in my spare time. Throughout my years as a med student, a resident, and a practicing physician I continued writing. I fantasized about being published someday, and I called myself a writer (although mostly in secret). Eventually, after many years, my dreams of being published came true. I am now an author, a doctor, and a mom. My first novel , A BEAUTIFUL HEIST, was published in June 2013 by Kensington, and the sequels were released in June 2014, and June 2015. My YA debut, GAME OF SECRETS, will be published in February 2018 by Sky Pony/Skyhorse Publishing in NYC. Still curious about my story? Check my FAQs. I would love to hear from you!
