Silver-tongued lawyer.
Keeper of secrets.
Breaker of hearts.
He can solve any problem . . .
In serving the wealthy power brokers of New York society, Frank Tripp has finally gained the respectability and security his own upbringing lacked. Theres no issue he cannot fix . . . except for one: the beautiful and reckless daughter of an important client who doesnt seem to understand the word danger.
Shes not looking for a hero . . .
Excitement lies just below Forty-Second Street and Mamie Greene is determined to explore all of itwhile playing a modern-day Robin Hood along the way. What she doesnt need is her fathers lawyer dogging her every step and threatening her efforts to help struggling families in the tenements.
However, she doesnt count on Franks persistence . . . or the sparks that fly between them. When fate upends all her plans, Mamie must decide if shes willing to risk it all on a rogue . . .
A brilliantly rendered historical setting, vividly drawn and memorable characters, and plenty of smoldering sexual tension that eventually combusts in sexy love scenes add a marvelous sense of zest to the start of Shupes Gilded Age-set Uptown Girls series. Kirkus Reviews
