"For Newport, Rhode Island s high society, the summer of 1896
brings lawn parties, sailboat races and murder. "Having turned down
the proposal of Derrick Andrews, Emma Cross has no imminent plans
for matrimony let alone motherhood. But when she discovers an
infant left on her doorstep, she naturally takes the child into her
care. Using her influence as a cousin to the Vanderbilts and a
society page reporter for the ""Newport Observer"," Emma launches a
discreet search for the baby s mother." "One of her first stops is
a lawn party at Mrs. Caroline Astor s Beechwood estate. But an
idyllic summer s day is soon clouded by tragedy. During a sailboat
race, textile magnate Virgil Monroe falls overboard. There are
prompt accusations of foul play and even Derrick Andrews falls
under suspicion. Deepening the intrigue, a telltale slip of lace
may link the abandoned child to the drowned man. But as Emma
navigates dark undercurrents of scandalous indiscretions and
violent passions, she ll need to watch her step to ensure that no
one lowers the boom on her "
