While the City Sleeps

February 15, 2024
Dr. Katherine Schneider looks forward to her midnight returns home from her dental practice, with the handsome Lieutenant Jonathan Birch to protect her. But after two years of chivalrous friendship, Katherine knows it will take more than nightly promenades to dismantle his shell and reveal whether he shares her affections. Jonathan swore an oath to the NYPD, but guilt over his dark past prevents him from pursuing a future with Katherine. When one of Katherine's patients reveals information connected to a string of recent bombings, Jonathan must race against the clock to keep the woman he loves and his incriminating secret safe. Camden begins her Women of Midtown series with a historical romance set in the heart of Manhattan in 1913. The city's nocturnal world is brought to life by characters experiencing conflicting loyalties between family and self. The plot ranges from the geniality of female friendships and falling in love to suspenseful scenes of defusing bombs and Mafia family drama. A complex yet satisfying story about reinventing oneself and coping with fear.
