A deathbed promise. An impossible task. Will saving a loved one mean losing everything? New York, 1872. Sadie McGillicuddy's word is her bond. Swearing to her dying mother to always protect her willful sister, she's soon tested when her beautiful younger sibling runs off into the night. Jumping on a San Francisco train in hot pursuit, the resourceful young woman evades a gangland enforcer's unwanted attention with the help of a handsome stranger. Count Dolphie Westerhoven's future feels uncertain. Grieving a father who just left him penniless, the lone-wolf Austrian is traveling to San Francisco when an intriguing passenger slips into his private carriage. Quick to offer her protection at his aunt's house, he fears there's more to her story when her sister falls into a mob boss's clutches and Sadie is delivered a warning - a severed hand. With her sister refusing to leave the mob boss's clutches, Sadie despairs of getting them both out with their lives intact. And Dolphie is shocked when his mesmerizing new friend gives him the slip and appears to defect to the gang boss's side, causing him to question if she's been conning him all along. Can they set things right before they're both caught in an outlaw's trap in this U.S. murder mystery series?

Autorenporträt
Jenny Wheeler is a former New Zealand newspaper and magazine editor and author of popular historical mysteries set in late 1860 and 1870s California. The Of Gold & Blood series made up of ten books, published 2018 - 2021, followed by the Homes At Last series, Sadie's Vow, Book 1 in the Home At Last series, first book published March 2022 and more coming. When she's not writing Jenny loves best to be outside in nature, in her Auckland garden or caravan at Whitianga on the Coromandel peninsula. She's a beginner beekeeper and a sometime genealogist (when she has time which is hardly ever.) Her DNA samples linked through ancestry.com appear to show Eleanor of Aquitaine is her great grandmother 26 generations back - which she finds utterly fascinating.
