Catharine Salvastano made a terrible discovery when she arrived in America. Her beloved papa that she had not seen in 17 years was missing, accused of murder, and was a crime boss in Pittsburgh. She assumes a new identity as Kate Chamberlin to create a new life for herself while trying to find her papa. Too bad someone else discovers who she is and anonymously threatens her. As though that wan’t bad enough, Detective Rhett Jennings is hired to protect her, and his life’s mission is to find the man who he thinks killed his father, Hugo Salvastano.
Ms. McDaniel’s research, attention to detail, and the places places that Kate and Rhett go to throughout the story make you feel as though you are actually in the Roaring 20’s. With plenty of mystery, suspense, rival criminals, and red herrings, I recommend reading this clean romantic story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this electronic advanced reader copy. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
If Kate Chamberlin can't reveal her true identity to the world, she must settle for sharing only her talent. Hired as a musician for KDKA radio, Kate plays everything from sponsors’ jingles to complex sonatas. As long as the whispers around the broadcasting room refer to her as “Killjoy Kate” and not “Catarina the crime boss's daughter,” then her life is safe from danger.
Or so she thinks.
When anonymous, violent threats surface, Kate's wary of accepting protection from the handsome private investigator, Detective Jennings. His save-the-world attitude is as charming as his manners, but no one, especially him, can know the gruesome realities of her birth.
The 1924 Pittsburgh underworld is as complicated as it is elusive, and though the dealings of the Salvastanos have dwindled, Rhett Jennings is certain the man responsible for his father's death is still at large. But his personal hunt for justice must be set aside when his day job requires him to investigate threats directed at a young radio broadcaster with enamoring brown eyes and secretive behavior.
When danger surrounds them, will the truth of Kate's past become the key to their survival?
