Trace of a Woman — Valerie Kirkwood

In 1890's Chicago, Maggie "Babe" Flynn was determined enough to become the first female crime reporter for the CLARION, and woman enough to pose as a prostitute to bait the notorious Red Rose murderer. But when a client turns rough, only the timely intervention of fellow reporter Daniel McQuinn saves her neck.

Soon, Maggie and Daniel's mutual ambition to catch a killer leads them to an explosive and passionate alliance. At first, neither is aware that the past is unfolding before their very eyes -- and in their hearts. But with each rapturous kiss, memories of a long-ago love are stirred. Can Maggie be the beautiful girl Daniel thought he'd lost forever to a cruel twist of fate?

Now, nothing can keep them from their long-awaited date with the truth -- rendezvous that will take them back in time, where everything is at stake, including their future together.
