The Reluctant Daughters
by: Veronica H. Hart

Matriarch of Steel - Elisabeth Riis: As the only child of a lumber industry titan just after the War Between the States, her future should have been bright. Now at the turn of the century, she's the head of her father's company and caring for her two orphaned granddaughters who chafe at her strict restrictions. She'll not see them repeat their mother's disastrous history, or make the same mistakes she made-mistakes that are haunting her now in the form of a powerful politician.

Daughter of Bitterness - Mary Ellen Riis: Born to a mother who can barely stand the sight of her, her only consolation is a father confined to a wheelchair enduring constant pain. She turns to romance and marriage with a reckless gambler, and upon his death, to the low and deadly slums of opium addiction. How could this wreck of a woman possibly hold the key to her daughters' future happiness?

Daughters of Mystery and Hope: Living under the tyrannical eye of their grandmother, Barbara and Lily are eager to do something with their lives. Despite their family's great wealth, being Irish denies them the path of the debutante. A single night's rebellious fun leads them on a trail of mystery. What really happened to their mother? And what does New York State Senator and Presidential Nominee Justin Pembroke have to do with their grandmother's sudden disappearance?
