Prima ballerina Jennifer Van Vleet knows how to stand tall in trying times. But when her theater burns down shortly after her parents’ mysterious death, her brother Peter believes one man is to blame for both tragedies—and he needs Jennifer’s help to fight back. In New York City by way of Texas, the young robber baron Chantry Kincaid III has a reputation for breaking hearts and breaking rules. Now Peter has arranged for Jennifer to dance at Chantry’s hotel, hoping she can get close enough to the scoundrel to expose him. The trouble is, the closer Jennifer gets to Chance, the less she’s able to resist his sexy, masculine charms. “Joyce Brandon writes a brilliant nineteenth-century Americana romance.” —Affaire de Coeur
