Frank is determined to keep Mamie safe and compliant until the wedding, but he is irresistibly attracted to her spirit and directness, not to mention her stunning beauty. Mamie is determined to offer what help she can, at great personal risk, regardless of the disapproval of her father’s attorney, Frank Tripp. The Five Points area teems with impoverished immigrants who get no sympathy from rich industrialists and little assistance in keeping order from the brutal metropolitan police. Mamie dutifully accepts the betrothal, but she cannot repress the independent streak that takes her far from her uptown mansion and into the most dangerous parts of the city.
Marion “Mamie” Greene is a Knickerbocker princess, the precious oldest daughter of one of New York’s leading families, destined to marry one of fin de siècle New York’s richest young men. First in a new Gilded Age romance series by an author who made her name reviving interest in this overlooked historical setting.
