Fiction Friday: Caught By Surprise

A historical adventure from Chicago to New York.

True Confession: I've not read anything by Jen Turano, not even this new book I'm featuring today, but doggone if I don't love her covers! Isn't this intriguing?

So, if that's not enough to tempt you, here's a blurb. Caught By Surprise sounds like a great beach read to me!

Miss Temperance Flowerdew is on her way to work when a stranger suddenly grabs her off the street and sends her on a Chicago-bound train before she can figure out what happened.

When Mr. Gilbert Cavendish is called upon to rescue a missing woman, he follows the trail to Chicago only to discover that the woman is his good friend Temperance. Before they can discover who was behind the abduction, they're seen alone together by a New York society matron, putting their reputations at risk.

Gilbert is willing to propose marriage--except Temperance will have none of it. She's finally stepped out of the shadow of her relations and won't give up her independence. But when it becomes clear the misunderstanding in Chicago has escalated into a threat on her life and followed her to New York, accepting Gilbert's help in solving the mystery may lead to more than she ever could have dreamed.
