About the book:

     Stella West’s artistic talent made her the toast of London, but when her beloved sister dies under mysterious circumstances she abandons everything and heads for Boston. With single-minded determination she fights to pierce the ring of secrecy surrounding her sister’s death. Upon meeting Romulus White, a publisher with connections into every important power circle in the city, she quickly realizes he could be a valuable ally in navigating Boston society.

     Romulus has been pursuing Stella for years to create art for his magazine. Her luminous illustrations are the missing piece he needs to propel his magazine to the forefront of the industry, and he will stop at nothing to get her on board.

     Sparks fly the instant they join forces, but Romulus is unsettled by the unwelcome attraction he feels toward Stella, fearing she might be the one woman who could disrupt his hard-won independence. He may have finally met his match in Stella, but is helping her solve the mystery of her sister’s death worth the risk to his publishing empire?

My review:

     This is a wonderful historical romance novel!

     I loved both of the main characters, Stella and Romulus. In some ways they are completely alike. At first meeting though the things that stood out to me were their differences. It was fun reading their story and trying to really understand their personalities.

     There was a fantastic plot with a great mystery than ran throughout the book. I was very caught up in it and extremely surprised by the outcome of it. As the story progressed and difficulties were dealt with all four of the central characters matured remarkable. I was very pleased to see how some of them grew in their relationship with God.

     I am giving this incredible book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
