Gwen Kellerman is an heiress to the infamous Blackstone family, whose
history of scandal nearly destroyed her. She now lives a quiet life at
the idyllic college founded with her family's fortune and hopes to keep
the tragedies of her past safely behind her.
Patrick O'Neill
survived a hardscrabble youth to become a lawyer for the downtrodden
Irish immigrants in his community. He's proud of his work, even though
he struggles to afford his ramshackle law office. All that changes when
he accepts a case to challenge the Blackstones' legacy of greed and
corruption by resurrecting a thirty-year-old mystery.
Little
does Patrick suspect that the Blackstones will launch their most
sympathetic family member to derail him. Gwen is tasked with getting
Patrick to drop the case, but the old mystery takes a shocking twist
neither of them saw coming. Now, as they navigate a burgeoning
attraction, Patrick is the only one who can save Gwen from new danger on
the horizon.

My Review
Once you begin turning the pages of this book, your in for a delightful
treat, the pages couldn't turn fast enough for me. This story is rich in
history and clashing of cultures, from giving to taking, and of course
there are those who do not want good to happen.
I loved the Irish
immigrant Patrick O'Neill, a lawyer for the down trodden, and then he
meets socialite Gwen Kellerman, and life for both of them changes
forever.
The story keeps giving right up to the end, from a tetanus
vaccine, to merger of the steel mills, kidnapping of children to
attempted murder, and so much more.
Be sure to read the authors notes at the end, and I am looking for more on the Blackstone family!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
