A Bitter Root

All Grace Flynn wants is a quiet life, mixing up herbal concoctions to ease suffering and bring comfort in 1840s London. Dreams of romance are dead and buried and she believes that working with her siblings will satisfy her. That is, until Detective Inspective Jack Ramsey enters her world.

Ramsey has long sought to bring London's most dangerous crime lord to justice and he believes that somehow his current cases will somehow lead back to him. When the trail leads him to Grace's shop, emotionally-scarred Ramsey is unable to resist the mix of her charm and incisive mind. As they work together, the crime lord strikes at Grace's family. In the midst of danger, can Ramsey and Grace find the courage to reach for feelings they've long denied? And, when the danger increases, will either of them survive long enough to find sufficient evidence to convict the elusive criminal?
