Forgetting her is impossible. Remembering him could kill her.

Left with partial amnesia after a steamcart accident, Claire McPhee tried lengthy treatment for the mental and emotional trauma. Now armed with her own training and medical degree, she helps others with combat-related neuroses hoping, she’ll someday—somehow—fill in her own blanks. Particularly the elusive memory of a man she once loved.

Something about the new medical chief triggers her painful, hypnosis-induced blocks, but he keeps pushing her away before she can shove through the barriers to determine why.

Chadwick Radcliffe has faced many challenges since assuming the position of medical chief at Fort Daniels, but facing his former love—and the knowledge that her memory of him could be deadly—pains him the most. While he’s had some preliminary success using the Eros Element, he’s all too aware its unintended effects could harm as much as heal.

With the Union on the cusp of caving in to the Confederacy’s demands, time becomes a precious commodity. Ghosts rise. The Element takes on a new, unpredictable aspect. And resurrected love could give Claire and Chadwick unexpected strength—if they have the courage to break the chains welded around them to seize it.

Aether Spirit is the third book in the Aether Psychics, a thrilling steampunk series with puzzling mysteries and elements of romance, and can be read as a standalone novel. If you like historical mysteries, sweet romance, and clever heroines, then you'll love Cecilia Dominic's Aether Psychics series.

Author’s Note
Author’s Note I have treated and do treat posttraumatic stress disorder. It was a completely unheard of concept in the nineteenth century, and I had to tweak some history to make Claire’s role seem believable. The origins of our empirically-supported treatments were still a long way off, so the treatments Claire uses at Fort Daniels are not at all representative of the time or of what we do now. She barely takes the first step of establishing rapport with her patients, which is necessary but not sufficient for successful PTSD treatment. Please don’t take any of the methods portrayed in this story as accurate of what our mental health practices look like today, even though the author is a psychologist. I did, however, enjoy researching the medical history to see what practices were in place at the time. I would particularly like to thank the Dekalb History Center. Their Civil War exhibit, which included information on mental health care, was timely and very helpful. Freud was still a teenager in 1871, so psychoanalysis, the precursor to talk therapy, hadn’t even been invented yet. That makes Claire very ahead of her time.
