Excerpt:
“May I help you?” he said.
Alice nearly lost her voice and courage. But if the
butler was capable of keeping her at arm’s length, how would she ever get her
family home back? She cleared her throat. “I need to speak to Mr. Albert
Donahue. My name is Alice Porterman.”
The butler’s bushy brows rose. “And you have an
appointment, miss?”
“I do not.”
“Anyone wishing to speak to Mr. Donahue has an
appointment.”
“And who do I see to get such an appointment?”
“Mr. Vickers, his secretary. I’m sorry, he is not
in but, but—Where are you going? You cannot come into this house!”
Alice swept by him and seated herself on a settee
inside the door. “I will wait here until Mr. Vickers arrives, unless you would
prefer me to wait in his office.”
“Certainly not. I can’t just let a complete
stranger make herself at home in Mr. Vickers’s office.”
“Then I will be satisfied to wait here,” Alice
said, as she noticed a young man hovering near the staircase. She nodded toward
him. “Someone is looking for you.”
Blurb:
1893 . . . Alice Porterman is released from her duties as a maid and
travels home to help her mother care for her sickly brother. But her mother and
brother are not in their family home when Alice arrives and she learns the
landlord, Albert Donahue, has evicted them into the harsh Boston winter. Alice
goes in search of him and is surprised at what she finds.
Albert
Donahue, an up-and-coming member of Boston’s elite, made his fortune through
hard work and shrewd business deals. But his dreams of a family to share it
with have not come true, perhaps until an impertinent young woman enters his
home and won’t leave until she speaks to him.
