Anna

Anna Boyd misses her father. She lost him when she was six, fled to California, the edge of the frontier at sixteen, became a prostitute at seventeen, and in her early twenties, she changed the world. James Creed returned to her life less than a year ago, but now the private detective is in San Francisco on a murder case.

She continues to run her restaurant and brothel, the House of Amber Doves. Then, she receives a blackmail letter that threatens to expose her secrets: that her fortune came from her inventions, including advanced steam power and automatons. How might society react if people knew that a woman, and a former soiled dove, had ushered in the modern technological revolution?

Anna now has to make choices that could destroy her reputation and her relationship with Miles Morgan, the mogul she secretly works for. As she strives to improve the lives of the women at the House of Amber Doves, and all women, she finds herself fighting a battle between two powerful men and a spy threatening her livelihood and those she loves.

Will her plans help her friends, or destroy her business and their lives? Whatever the cost, Anna is determined to do what's right.
