“If Charles Dickens had written a romance, this would be it. With just the right touch of atmosphere and the ability to perfectly capture the wealthy elite of gaslight New York juxtaposed with its seedy underworld, Meagan McKinney has woven a mesmerizing tale. Her three-dimensional characters, the lush backdrop and the mounting tension of a well-crafted suspense simply add to an already emotionally powerful story. Ms. McKinney is truly a mistress of her craft.”

“If Edith Wharton had written a bodice-ripping romance novel about Old New York, it would probably read something like McKinney’s latest offering…Intrigue, peril and seduction…Frothy and entertaining, this romance should convince readers to tune in for the next installment.”
