Synopsis: MEDICAL MYSTERY…OR MURDER? 

How did five people from a small Georgia town contract a rare, deadly disease? Medical researcher Allison Stewart has to work against the clock to find out. Yet before she can ask one question, someone tries to kill her. A handsome recluse who is shrouded in suspicion saves her. Many believe Luke Garrison is guilty of a decade-old murder—a murder with ties to Allison's case. Allison dares to work closely with Luke. But is she setting herself up to become victim number six? 

Magnolia Medical: Investigating rare diseases puts these medical researchers into harm's—and love's—way
