Saratoga Springs, 1913    
  
Aidan "The Archangel" Ramsey, a gifted but troubled bare-knuckle boxer, has long since abandoned hope for anything more than the life of a nomad. Cast further adrift after his father's death, his purposefully anonymous existence is shattered when the bothersome -- and pretty -- banker's daughter appears with an offer too rich to refuse.       

When her father disappears on an unexpected business trip, Christine Sellers is left with the unenviable task of bringing one of Saratoga's most notorious -- and mysterious -- residents to heel. Engaged to a dashing Army Lieutenant and poised for the wedding of the summer, the most reliable and stalwart of the banker's daughters nonetheless finds herself drawn inexplicably into this so-called Archangel's underground world of violence and upheaval.     

Thrown together unexpectedly, the two forge an unlikely partnership, uncovering a web of secrets and lies nearly 30 years old... and a love too dangerous to acknowledge, yet too powertul to ignore. As the secrets unravel - and the truth emerges - will it heal them... or destroy them?
