Synopsis

Born in the slums of Five Points, Emmett Cavanaugh climbed his way to the top of a booming steel empire and now holds court in an opulent Fifth Avenue mansion. His rise in stations, however, has done little to elevate his taste in women. He loathes the city's "high society" types, but a rebellious and beautiful blue-blood just might change all that.

Elizabeth Sloane's mind is filled with more than the latest parlor room gossip. Lizzie can play the Stock Exchange as deftly as New York's most accomplished brokers—but she needs a man to put her skills to use. Emmett reluctantly agrees when the stunning socialite asks him to back her trades and split the profits. But love and business make strange bedfellows, and as their fragile partnership begins to crack, they'll discover a passion more frenzied than the trading room floor . . .

Emmett Cavanaugh și Elizabeth Sloane sunt pe cât de diferiți pe atât de asemănători. El este un magnat al oțelului care provine din clasa de jos, ea este o tânără ce aparține aristocrației. O tânără care-și dorește să deschidă o firmă și să facă investiții la bursă, într-o vreme în care femeilor nu......more

A reread. 3.5 stars. I liked the Gilded Age setting, NYC in the 1880s. The wealthy had access to electricity, gas and the telephone! Although they still had to travel in carriages, apart from the extensive railroad network of course. Emmett is a self-made man who literally came from nothing to be on......more
