Tainted
in the eyes of Victorian society by his wife’s suicide, Doyle Flanagan turns a
deaf ear to the baseless gossip and harsh rebukes. Ignoring his shattered
reputation, he goes about his business, making money and enemies, and doing
good works whenever his conscience gets the best of him. Arrested for murder,
he is forced to rely on a feisty school administrator to solve the puzzle. As
he struggles to prove his innocence, he realizes gaining the trust and loyalty
of Cady Delafield may be more important than his freedom.
On
a quest to locate a missing student, school matron Cady Delafield enters a
stranger’s house and discovers the woman murdered. Driven to see the murderer
brought to justice, she is determined to prevent any further tragedy even if it
means joining forces with the very man accused of the atrocity. Against the
wishes of her powerful family, she risks her job and reputation to learn the
truth. But will the truth, once revealed, drive her away from the man she has
come to love?
Passion
and murder collide in 1880’s Chicago as they race to keep one step ahead of the
police who want Doyle to pay for his crime. As the attraction between Cady and
Doyle sizzles, they battle suspicions, lies and lethal actions to uncover the
murderer before he destroys them both.
