About this ebook
Page-Turning Romance and Intrigue in Award-Winning Author's Next Historical Novel
Lucy Drake's mastery of Morse code has made her a valuable asset to the American news agencies as a telegrapher. But the sudden arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith at rival British news agency Reuters puts her hard-earned livelihood at risk. Newly arrived from London, Colin is talented, handsome, and insufferably charming.
Despite their rivalry, Lucy realizes Colin's connections could be just what her family needs to turn the tide of their long legal battle over the fortune they were swindled out of forty years ago. When she negotiates an unlikely alliance with him, neither of them realizes how far the web of treachery they're wading into will take them.

This is book one in the Empire State series, and I look forward to reading more from this series. This book has some laughter, mystery, loyalty, frustration, personal growth, history and of course romance. Sir Colin Beckwith, is a handsome and frustrating man. There were times I wanted to just shake some since into him, however I think given the time period he acted exactly as he should have. I loved his personality, determination and the way Camden just made him an imperfect hero type character in this novel. Lucy Drake, is a unique lady. She is pretty, hardworking, and determined woman. Who is trying to finally make right the on going family feud, sometimes at any cost it seems. I love her relationship with her brother and also the sparks and laughter she and Colin share.

Brilliantly researched, but even (especially?) a hereditary baronet is addressed as Sir Colin or Lord Beckworth, not as Sir Beckworth. (Though some of the characters might logically make that mistake!)
