It is March of 1902, and Francesca Cahill—Fifth Avenue
heiress, undaunted political activist and intrepid amateur
sleuth—has just learned of a grave new danger haunting the
streets of New York. A beautiful teenage girl named Emily
O'Hare is missing and Francesca fears that the girl has been
abducted. Only one person can help her learn the child's
fate—but Police Commissioner Rick Bragg may not want to get
involved because Francesca has just stunned Rick by
accepting a proposal of marriage...from none other than his
own rival.
Francesca still questions her decision to marry the powerful
and notorious Calder Hart. But Rick Bragg is wed to
another...and his dazzling wife has just returned after four
years abroad to reclaim their marriage. Francesca remains
torn between the two very different men-but she desperately
tries to set aside the affairs of her heart when she
discovers that Emily isn't the first girl to vanish in
recent weeks. And when Francesca discovers a trail of
deception and lies, when someone very close to her
investigation is murdered, Francesca realizes that the evil
force behind the girls' abductions may try to find a way to
silence her too—if she dares to uncover the truth...
