A charming, realistic romance built on the slow growth of trust and love. With its deep emotions, fast pace, witty repartee, eccentric suitors, likable characters, and steamy passion, readers will feel compelled to fly to the end...A highly romantic story.
-- "RT Book Reviews (4 stars)"
Guhrke pens an intelligent and moving romance full of distrust and misunderstanding between two headstrong characters who are trying to find happiness against the odds. The unusual social backdrop of New York's Gilded Age adds an interesting dimension to a story that hinges on a number of intriguing financial elements. A sexy, smart romance with a unique arc that's enhanced by its upper-class old New York social setting.
