Ursula Kern is launching an investigation into her employee and friend's death.  Slater Roxton determines to assist her as he thinks the investigation is dangerous.  Turns out they are both right as their investigation turns up mob bosses, drugs, prostitution, and more.
I really enjoyed this historical romance by Amanda Quick (a.k.a Jayne Ann Krentz).  I think the historical romances under her Amanda Quick pen name are much better than her contemporary romances under her real name lately.  The plots are a lot more original than the contemporary books.  I also enjoyed seeing a minor character in many of her previous historicals show up in this novel.
