From the back cover:
When Clara Endicott and Daniel Tremain's worlds collide after twelve years apart, the sparks that was once between them immediately reignites into a romance neither of them thought possible.
But time has changed them both.
Daniel is an industrial titan with powerful enemies. Clara is an idealistic journalist determined to defend underprivileged workers.
Can they withstand the cost of their convictions while their hearts - and lives - hang in the balance?
Review:
I enjoyed Elizabeth Camden's novel. I thought this book was well written and historically accurate. I liked the in-depth look at the average workman's live in the late 1800's. I believe Camden was successful in telling her story about pride, revenge, and ultimately forgiveness.
I did not like the fact that Clara was willing to stay in a relationship with Daniel, even though he blatantly refused to learn about her Christian beliefs. Is the author trying to say it is alright to be in a relationship with an unbeliever, because you love them? I believe God comes before men - you should not put yourself in a position to be led away from Christ. Even though Daniel came to believe by the end of the book, I believe Clara should have distanced herself, knowing she was attracted to him, as well as being influenced by him.

I really enjoyed the Jane Austin's Persuasion type of story. I have not read many books with similar plot lines, so it was nice to read a book that reminded me of a classic romance story.
