A wallflower with a secret.Olive Becket has played it safe since the day her father died. So no one is more surprised than she when her suffrage anthem-an anonymous, harmless jingle-is a state-wide sensation. The public is clamoring to know who she is, but revealing herself could incur the wrath of her anti-suffrage landlord. Unfortunately, the devilishly handsome detective hired to unmask the composer is convinced she knows something.
As if supporting her family isn't enough, now she must outmaneuver a man who makes her shiver. If she misses a beat, she could find herself on the street. Or worse-directly in the rake's embrace. A detective under pressure.Emil Anderson's new detective agency is sinking fast. When a lucrative partnership is dangled in front of him in exchange for locating one low-profile composer, he doesn't hesitate.
To his surprise, his only lead-a perplexing pianist with spellbinding doe eyes-is immune to his famous charm. Unfortunately for her, Emil loves a good riddle, and he'll track her until it's solved. There's only one snag-the more time he spends with her, the more protective he becomes. Now he has to choose: close the case, or open his heart. An unexpected partnership.Her livelihood. His future. The truth.
All dangerously close to unraveling. How can they put aside their mutual suspicion-and inconvenient chemistry-before someone else pulls the strings? And what if the ending they fear turns out to be the beginning they never saw coming?
