About the Book
Two years ago, her fiance perished during their voyage to America.
Now she discovers it may have been murder...
Dreaming of a better life, Tillie McGrath leaves
Ireland behind and, with her beloved fiance by her side, sets sail for
America. But when illness robs her of the man she holds dear, she's left
alone with only a handful of tattered memories. While forging on proves
difficult, Tillie soon finds some new friends at her New York
boardinghouse, and begins pursuing a new dream--to open a home for
orphaned children.
Despite two years passing, Captain Keondric Morgan has
never forgotten the lass who left his ship so heartbroken. When a
crewman's deathbed confession reveals her fiance's demise was the result
of murder, the captain knows he must try to contact her. But his
attention draws the notice of others as well--dangerous men who believe
Tillie has in her possession something that could expose their crimes.
And to their way of thinking, the best way to prevent such an outcome is
to seize the evidence and then hand Tillie the same fate as her naïve
fiance.

My Review
I have read the first book in this series but I felt like they could all be read apart from each other. I really enjoy the setting and the men characters in Ludwig's books. For some reason it's really hard to relate to the women characters and this book was a lot like the first in that aspect. While I liked the history and characters this was not my favorite read it seemed a bit slow for me.
"I received this book from CFBA for free in exchange for an honest review."
