The Three Brooches - Paperback

by Katherine Lowry Logan (Author)

A hidden message in a centuries-old painting. A desperate cry for help across time. A deadly conspiracy that could destroy a family legacy.

For over 175 years, an enigmatic self-portrait has hung on the walls of the Montgomery Winery. But when a hidden Morse code message is discovered embedded in the brushstrokes, it reveals a frantic, time-defying summons: NEEDS INSULIN.

Answering the call, the MacKlenna clan unites to test the legend of the Three Brooches, stepping back into the brutal, glittering world of 1881 San Francisco. What was supposed to be a swift rescue mission quickly devolves into an apocalyptic nightmare. Within hours of arrival, a cascade of sudden, life-threatening crises strikes the travelers, leaving the family fractured, vulnerable, and fighting for survival on multiple fronts.

With the clan in chaos, trauma surgeon Dr. Charlotte Mallory is forced to make agonizing, impossible choices to keep her family alive. Meanwhile, her husband Braham McCabe must scour the streets of San Francisco to track down Charlotte's brother, Jack, before the brewing danger catches up to him.

But Jack has found his own reasons to stay in the nineteenth century. Swept up in high society, he is busy wining and dining Carolina Rose, a beautiful artist with perilous ties to a ruthless conspiracy. As their romance blooms at exclusive parties, Jack is pulled deeper into a deadly trap, forcing Braham into a race against the clock to save him.

Divided across time, battling invisible scars, and facing an enemy in the shadows, the MacKlenna family must confront a devastating truth: no one truly masters time, and some historical reckonings cannot be escaped.

The Three Brooches is a sweeping, high-stakes time-travel romance set in 1881 San Francisco, where danger lurks, romance blooms, and old wounds surface.
