To escape her stepfather's machinations involving his debt and the attentions of Silas Ruff, actress Lucetta Plum gives up a starring role and hides out at the estate of Bram Haverstein, the grandson of a friend. Bram is delighted to have Lucetta land on his doorstep since he has followed her career and admires her work. As Lucetta and Bram become acquainted, Lucetta notices his eccentricities and strange household. Fiercely independent, she has no desire to marry or become entangled in a relationship. However, when Silas shows up to collect his debt, she fears she may never have another chance to tell Bram how she really feels. VERDICT In her third series entry (After a Fashion; In Good Company), Turano has crafted another feisty female protagonist who defies the mores of her time, in this case 1882 New York. This provocative novel brims with the author's trademark humor and subtle romantic style laced with faith. A pleasant selection for readers seeking a light historical romance.
When a fan's interest turns threatening, Lucetta Plum, an actress on the rise in New York City, is forced to abandon her starring role. Her widowed friend, Abigail Hart, delighted by this opportunity to meddle in Lucetta's life, promptly whisks her away to her grandson's estate to hide out. But while her grandson Bram Haverstein may appear to simply be a somewhat eccentric gentleman of means, a mysterious career and a secret fascination with a certain actress mean there's much more to him than society knows. Lucetta, who has no interest in Abigail's matchmaking machinations, has the best intentions of remaining cordial but coolly distant to Bram. But when she can't ignore the strange and mysterious things going on in his house, it'll take more than good intentions to keep her from trying to discover who he is behind the part he plays.
