Book Review By Manda
When We Touch by Shannon Drake

Lady Maggie Graham has to marry to save her family from debtors prison, luckily, her uncle has settled on someone on her behalf. Disappointingly, it isn't the gorgeous Jamie, but his great uncle, Charles, who she must marry. Sparks fly when the nephew thinks she is a money-grubbing woman, and she cannot stand him in return. Of course this is all to hide a heavy case of lust from one each other. Maggie continues her charity work with the prostitutes and exposing the frauds who hold seances despite Jamie's misgivings. Add in the start of Jack the Ripper and a command from the Queen to Jamie to investigate and you have a very interesting time.
