Charity O’Malley is about to break the law of the land in order to follow her dreams. They’ll call her a whisper sister. A tarnished female. A Jezebel. As a woman who wants to shape her own destiny, she’s about to reopen her father’s speakeasy, but Big Mike O’Malley reaches out from the grave to save his recalcitrant daughter from her folly. Gabriel Cavelli, the Harley-riding bad boy of the Cavelli family, has to honor a deathbed promise to a friend to look out for his young, educated-out-east daughter. Gabe, one of the three Cavelli boys named—or rather misnamed—after archangels, finds himself caught as he tries to ...[Read More]...

Rare jewelry appraiser, Grace Hathway, is getting along as well as can be expected since her father’s untimely death—until she is followed home one dismal night by a shadowy stranger. Afraid for her life, she does the unthinkable for a young, single woman. She seeks refuge at the door of the country’s most mysterious and wealthy man at four o’clock in the morning. Jared Dunstan de Ware, III may be as handsome as he is rich, but Grace has been down that road
before.


Left on the doorstep of an orphanage at age three, Jared’s heart has been guarded by walls of stone. As he tries to unravel the web of intrigue surrounding Grace without getting tangled in its
sticky threads, he discovers he is not as immune to the wiles of a beautiful woman as he thought.


As the intrigue surrounding Grace leads the couple from Chicago’s ethnic neighborhoods to the
jazz and glitz of New York City’s affluent ballrooms, can they avoid a romantic entanglement? Or will they pay a price for digging up the secrets of the past?
