A gaslight historical romance set in 1884 New York City. 

The
death of Callie Scott’s fashionable father left her with nothing—except
an inquisitive mind not even her grandmother’s puritanical upbringing
could quash. An adventurous spirit doesn’t get her much in New York
City, however, except an abysmal position as a ladies maid.
Things
are looking up when she lands a trial job in a “special” library. Her
benefactor’s offer of wine before noon should have signaled something
amiss—not to mention the heated text she’s asked to translate. The more
she reads, the more wine she needs to cool her blush.
Detective
Cutter can’t quite place the tipsy young woman he encounters in a
notorious brothel, but when she plants a dizzying kiss on his lips, he’s
sure she doesn’t belong there. The resulting scandal of the police raid
leaves Callie on the street, and Cutter feels responsible for her
welfare.
Despite the cruel knowledge that he will never be part
of her world, Cutter impulsively offers her a job in his home, where she
turns out to possess more than the face of an angel. She has an
irresistible, innocent sensuality—and an insatiable curiosity that could
bring her one step too close to a murderer.
