    Bold As Brass: Women with an Attitude 

    

    A shop girl engages the services of an up-and-coming barrister to find out what caused the explosion aboard the ferry that killed her father.

           


             London barrister Edmund Caruthers’s ambition is to wear the silks of a King’s Counsel. Born into privilege, he loves to gamble with the old money heirs at his club.

            A milliner’s apprentice, Dolly Wycliffe pursues her dream to make fashionable ladies’ hats. She engages Edmund’s help to sue a powerful English lord for the wrongful death of her father who’d been in the lordship’s employ.

            Edmund obliges, especially with a sizable wager at stake. His friends have bet against him, believing he won’t be able to wrestle a shilling out of the titled gentleman, especially with a shop-girl as a client.

            Dolly and Edmund discover her father’s death wasn’t an accident and defy tradition to find out the truth.  

            As their mutual attraction grows stronger, they become aware more than her wide-brimmed hats keep them apart.
