She was an independent woman-with only one weakness... an
irresistible downtown man...
An immovable uptown lady... rich suffragette Beatrice Von
Furstenberg was tough enough to trade stocks on Wall
Street and smart enough to resist the temptation of
passion. Adamant about women being independent-and without
a romantic bone in her lovely body-she had sternly refused
to give her moonstruck sixteen-year-old ward permission to
wed an eighteen-year-old suitor. Now the desperate teens
have dreamed up a mock robbery and a daring rescue to
change Beatrice's mind.
Attorney Connor Barrow, a rogue of an Irishman with a
silver tongue, remembers all too well the burning desires
of youth. So he agrees to help in a crazy plan that will
land him in a world of trouble. Suddenly he is responsible
for the most influential lady in the city being locked up
in a brothel, furious and threatening his ruin. Neither of
them expects that first breathless kiss-a deal that would
make the devil himself blush-and, most of all, the ways
love can change a man's mind and open a woman's heart....
