The Lion's Shadow

Beautiful, headstrong, and intelligent, Cassandra Whitney has embraced the suffragette movement with all of the determination she can muster. When she meets another young woman who is interested in joining the fight for the woman's vote, Cassandra gladly takes her under her wing, bringing Helena St. John to rallies and demonstrations. When Helena's brother, the self-righteous but fascinating explorer Griffin St. John, learns that his sister has become involved in the tumultuous and unpredictable women's rights movement, he demands that Cassandra put a stop to escorting his sister. Cassandra, who feels much too strongly for the movement, resists his command--and sparks begin to fly. When a rally turns violent and the women are subsequently jailed, it is Griffin who comes to release them. And while suspicious accidents continue to threaten his life, Griffin begins to soften his attitude toward the stubborn, fascinating Cassandra. The notebook of secrets . . . the violent anti-suffrage demonstartions . . . the mysterious man with the gold tooth . . . it all turns dark in The Lion's Shadow.
