Frank Tripp is the toast of New York City's legal scene, a status achieved both by his hard work, his smarts, and his complete excising of his past. He has much to gain, and lose, if he can't maintain the favor of the rest of society's elite.

So as Frank helplessly continues to try and stop heiress Mamie Greene from ruining herself completely with her antics at gambling hells and other unsavory establishments, he has to worry if he'll find trouble with her father.

Mamie wants nothing to do with Frank's meddling, she's got her life perfectly handled. So what if he think she's simply a spoiled rich girl out for fun, she's actually using her skills to help the women of the neighborhoods she shouldn't dare be seen in. And Mamie knows she has to marry her childhood friend, the man selected by her father, and even if she wanted a dalliance with Frank, she can't risk her or or younger sisters' futures...can she?

As both Mamie and Frank realize they are far more than they seem, their undeniable attraction alights, with huge consequences for them both.

A deliciously steamy romance with social justice and feminism in spades, a definite must read. Also, when the blurb says Frank is silver-tongued...they really aren't joking. One of my favorite billiards table scenes ever. Yum.
