The Undercover Heiress of Brockton

By Kelly Goshorn

Description:

A Socialite in Disguise Seeks Truth and Justice

Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers.

Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department’s wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret.

After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. When an unnamed source reveals Etta’s secret identity to a rival reporter, she falsely accuses Leo of being the informant. As the truth comes to light, Etta must persuade Leo to give her a second chance or lose the only man she’s ever loved.

Book Takeaway:

That God's hand can be seen even amidst tragedy.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was instantly drawn to the story of the Grover Shoe Factory fire upon seeing the before and after images of disaster. My mind immediately began wondering about the lives of the people working there, the families of those injured and lost, and those who risked their lives to save as many as they could before the building completely collapsed.
