Katherine Schneider's life as a dentist in 1913 New York is
upended when a patient reveals details of a deadly plot while under the
influence of laughing gas. As she is plunged into danger, she seeks help
from the dashing Lieutenant Jonathan Birch, a police officer she has
long admired from afar.
Jonathan has harbored powerful feelings
toward Katherine for years but never acted on them, knowing his dark
history is something she could never abide. Now, with her safety on the
line, he works alongside her through the nights as they unravel the
criminal conspiracy that threatens her . . . even as he keeps his
deepest secrets hidden at all costs.
About The Author

My Review
I really enjoyed this story, and the theme of family resonates throughout, from Jonathan to Katherine and even Gallagher.
We see the love of a family, and the pain of being a member of a notorious one, to having people who are always there for you.
This story is set in the early 1900's in NYC, and Katherine is a dentist, a bit unheard of, but she loves her work. Then we have Jonathan, a policeman and a man running from his past, they meet late at night when Katherine gets out of work, and he sees a woman in need.
This is a sweet romance story, that kinda blows up, but we are there when the pieces are being picked up.
There is danger, and senseless loss of life, and then we page turn for answers!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
