About this ebook
When a blackmailer threatens her future, a society sleuth must turn to the one man she can’t resist in this sexy Gilded Age mystery.
New York City, 1902. On the morning of her wedding to Calder Hart, amateur sleuth Francesca Cahill is lured away to a private viewing of a portrait that could destroy her entire family: the nude that Hart has commissioned of her. Her desperate quest to recover the scandalous portrait leads her into a dangerous trap—one that keeps her from meeting Hart at the altar. And when Francesca finally arrives at the church, she finds it vacant.
With her engagement over and a blackmailer intent on destroying her reputation, Francesca turns to Rick Bragg, the city’s powerful police commissioner. Together they scour the sordid streets of lower Manhattan, following a deliberately laid trail of clues in a race against the clock. And once it becomes clear that Bragg’s marriage is failing, Francesca must war with her feelings for him, battle Hart’s jealousy and escape a killer—all as she fights to win Hart back. But sometimes, passion just cannot be denied . . .
