The Deal and the Dressmaker

Abandoned by her father as a young girl, Meg Carson has managed to carve out a wonderful life for herself, with two great friends and her thriving modiste's shop. The discovery of her long-lost brother only improves things. When Meg's estranged father comes back into her life, however, he jeopardizes her establishment, stability, and even her freedom.

Sebastian Redding has his hands full. As guardian to his younger sister after his father's untimely death, he is forced to take multiple jobs to make ends meet. One of those is for the ruthless and powerful Theo Carson, ruler of an illegal boxing ring. When Theo threatens his little sister if he does not marry his daughter, Sebastian finds himself torn between doing what's right, or saving his family.

As the two spend more and more time together, Meg learns to admire and respect Sebastian for the love he has for his family, and Seb grows to cherish Meg's honesty and strength. As feelings grow and betrayal looms, Sebastian and Meg's hearts are tested in ways they could never have foreseen. With the help of family, friends, and an adorable little girl, however, things just might work out.
