(blurb) October 8th - One small spark ignites the entire city of Chicago, sending it's residents into panic. But amid the chaos, a miraculous rescue kindles an unexpected new love.

As she flees the raging inferno, Lucy Hathaway risks her life to save a precious baby girl. The little orphan is a gift from heaven, coming into Lucy's life just as the fire has taken everything else from her.

Five years have passed, & Lucy has raised Maggie as her own. Suddenly she comes face to face with Randolph Higgins, one of Chicago's most prominent men. Rand is a bitter, lonely man scarred by the great fire & sill grieving for the baby he lost that night. To her astonishment, Lucy discovers the child she'd saved was his & now he threatens all she holds dear...

(ex-library book...but in very good condition!)

8 out of 10

This book is going into a round of Surprise BookXcerpts for Romance/chicklit that I'm running so I thought I'd best read it first....& I'm glad I did!

An enjoyable (but perhaps predictable) tale featuring a strong feisty heroine who lives life differently to the majority of women of her day.

When Lucy first meets Rand she makes him a proposistion, which to her embarassment, he turns down. Five years pass before she meets him again, which is when she discovers that the baby she saved from a fire is in fact Rand's daughter...does this bring them together? What do you think!

This arrived as part of a romance bookXcerpting adventure. I expected to get a contemporary romance from that first page I viewed. Surprisingly it's not what I got. But this sounds VERY interesting. Will save this for my trip in May. Thank you Plum_crazy for sending this book. It's very much appreciated.

Somehow this book wasn't what I expected from the first page excerpt. It's a good read, but mostly average, I think. The chemistry between Lucy and Rand didn't light up my heart. There was some salt and pepper missing.

The book has a loose cover now. Its glue wasn't sticky enough, I guess.

available for trade.
