Heart of the Emerald — Cynthia Hickey

Aileen Sullivan arrives on America's shores with little in her pocket and vengeance in her heart.

She doesn't count on the handsome Englishman turned American who is determined to make sure she stays out of Five Points.

How can Aileen find the man who did her family wrong if she has a constant watchdog?

Samuel Westfield felt an immediate attraction for the feisty Irish woman and will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means giving her a job and room and board. When Aileen goes against the help he's offered and finds her life threatened, Sam gives up his most precious possession to save her.

Can these two see that love is the most priceless possession?
