Maria, Romance Book Haven: "beautifully evocative of early 20th century New York and the jazz age - an age, I must confess, in which I had little interest, until I started reading this fascinating little gem of a novella." On her way to a new life in America, a respectable English widow expects her biggest adventure to be the Transatlantic voyage. But when she finds herself stuck in an elevator with a roguishly charming Prohibition gangster - and he offers her a dare she can't refuse - she embarks on a whole new adventure.
