 Book Description
Eloise Drake's prim demeanor hides the turbulent past she's finally put behind her--or so she thinks. A mathematical genius, she's now a successful accountant for the largest engineering project in 1908 New York. But to her dismay, her new position puts her back in the path of the man responsible for her deepest heartbreak.
Alex Duval is the mayor of a town about to be wiped off the map. The state plans to flood the entire valley where his town sits in order to build a new reservoir, and Alex is stunned to discover the woman he once loved on the team charged with the demolition. With his world crumbling around him, Alex devises a risky plan to save his town--but he needs Eloise's help to succeed.
Alex is determined to win back the woman he thought he'd lost forever, but even their combined ingenuity may not be enough to overcome the odds against them before it's too late.
My Review
This was another wonderful Elizabeth Camden book! The characters felt very real, and I loved getting a look at an interesting time in American history. I also love the way she weaves mystery into her story, it kept me guessing and still surprised me in the end. The plot was very interesting and had me hooked early on. Which led to nights of staying up way to late to read just a "little more". I already can not wait for her next book to come out!
 
 
 
 
 
   I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
