Lily Granville inherits a substantial fortune and defies her guardian uncle’s rigid expectations in October 1869. The handsome Ace Diamond, intent on winning her affection, secretly backs a dynamite factory for a quick kill, but his business success fails to sway Lily’s guardian.
Alarmingly, just hours before Lily and Ace escape together to avoid a forced marriage, an explosion devastates San Francisco. Accused of orchestrating the blast, Ace is jailed pending investigation. Facing the dilemma of a looming execution, Lily must discover the true mastermind behind the sabotage and save her lover, all while confronting the peril of losing him—and perhaps becoming a widow before she can truly marry.
