In a city of secrets, she lost the biggest one.
Love was the last thing he expected to find in the midst of solving a conspiracy.
Tucker Josephus Stratton has spent years building his detective agency in the shadow of his father’s railroad empire—and now, he has accepted a high stakes case that could change everything. Stolen designs. Government secrets. And a peculiar young woman in the atrium who keeps turning up exactly where she shouldn’t be. Is she in league with the thieves, or is she simply the most spectacularly unlucky heiress in all of New York?
Miss Sadie Kensington would like it known that she did not ask for any of this. Orphaned, trust-bound, and living under the roof of relatives with a cousin who tolerates her at best, she was perfectly content delivering love notes and gospel pamphlets before a mysterious stranger dropped a satchel of top-secret designs at her feet and vanished. Now someone wants her dead, a very determined detective won’t stop following her, and she may have accidentally lost the most valuable documents in the country to her ten-year-old twin cousins.
As Tucker and Sadie reluctantly join forces, the danger multiplies—and so does something neither of them planned for. But in Gilded Age New York, where society’s rules are ironclad and everyone has something to hide, can two people with everything to lose afford to trust each other?
A romp through the opulence and intrigue of the early 1900s at the turn of the century, this sweet, faith-filled Christian Historical Romance will have you laughing, gasping, and rooting for every glorious, chaotic step of the way.
