Description

An unforgettable novel about a young woman's journey into the heart of the unknown from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

Callie James learned to survive in the squalid back alleys of Dublin. Tough, spirited, and possessed of a singular beauty, she was sent to New York to find her fortune. But everywhere she turned there were men who saw only what they wanted to see in her. Byrch Kenyon offered friendship and encouragement, but he also saw the desirable woman she would one day show more become. Rossiter Powers, the rich son of a respected family, saw something else in Callie—and nearly destroyed her. Hugh MacDuff, rich only in love and compassion, did his best to save her. But Callie—strong, smart and determined to succeed—insisted on taking charge of her own destiny.

I enjoyed this book. I found it to hold my interest. I laughed, I cried, I was even surprised in parts. I thought I had figured out exactly what was going to happen, but I was wrong. Not my favorite by Fern Michaels, but still worth the read.
