Author Description

"Miss Temperance Flowerdew is on her way to work when a stranger grabs her off the street and puts her on a Chicago-bound train before she can figure out what happened. Called upon to rescue a missing woman, Mr. Gilbert Cavendish follows the trail to Chicago, only to discover that the woman is his good friend Temperance. Before they can determine who was behind the abduction, they're seen alone together by a New York society matron. With both their reputations at risk, Gilbert is willing to propose marriage. Temperance will have none of it." -- page 4 of cover.
