How Gert Wainwright was Waylaid

Gert Wainwright wants to write more than penny dreadfuls, but first she needs to convince her publisher. 

There's only one snag - they've never met and Seamus O'Donnell thinks she's a man.

Their first meeting is unforgettable and he reluctantly agrees to let her pursue her dream of writing true crime. When she uncovers the clue to a series of grisly murders, she becomes a target, and Seamus has to protect her from the villain pursuing her and her own recklessness.

Seamus O'Donnell finally has some freedom. He just finished raising the last of his orphaned nephews, his publishing business is in the black, and he has money and time to spare. He's comfortable.

When Gert Wainwright walks into his office with her sharp wit and whisky eyes, she upends his entire comfortable world and makes him start asking what he really wants and what he truly needs.
