To escape her stepfather's machinations involving his debt and the attentions of Silas Ruff, actress Lucetta Plum gives up a starring role and hides out at the estate of Bram Haverstein, the grandson of a friend. Bram is delighted to have Lucetta land on his doorstep since he has followed her career and admires her work. As Lucetta and Bram become acquainted, Lucetta notices his eccentricities and strange household. Fiercely independent, she has no desire to marry or become entangled in a relationship. However, when Silas shows up to collect his debt, she fears she may never have another chance to tell Bram how she really feels.
VERDICT In her third series entry (After a Fashion; In Good Company), Turano has crafted another feisty female protagonist who defies the mores of her time, in this case 1882 New York. This provocative novel brims with the author's trademark humor and subtle romantic style laced with faith. A pleasant selection for readers seeking a light historical romance.
