description: Samantha Elliot hadn't wanted to come to New York. But her father's will made it clear that he'd wished her to spend a year in New York looking for her grandmother - a woman who had up and left her family when Samantha was only a baby. Dave Elliot had even sold their Louisville home and rented an apartment for her in Manhattan. So here she was, in this big, dirty city...her parents were dead, her divorce was final, and she was all alone...Michael Taggert was Samantha's landlord, and it took only one glance for her to realize that he was the most beautiful man she'd ever seen. And he was charming - his zest for life was so contagious that in his presence Sam began to bloom like a flower after the rain. At his side, she discovered how perfectly delightful life could be. Yet Mike could only get so far with her - when he tried to get closer, it was like running headfirst into a brick wall.Mike wasn't about to give up on a woman whose smiled hinted at all the love and exuberance she'd buried long ago. When he'd confessed that Dave Elliot had made him Samantha's guardian, she's been outraged; when he'd revealed her father's disturbing theory - that Samantha's grandmother had once been known as Maxie, moll to a vicious gangster - she'd responded with cold, disbelieving fury. But now they were working together, probing deep into the history of Anthony "Doc" Barrett - and coming closer to the dangerous truth about a bloody spring night in 1928, and what had become of a seductive blues singer named Maxie...
