As the heiress to a vast fortune amassed by her millionaire father, Francesca Cahill's life should be mapped out for her: find an eligible suitor, marry, and have children.

Murder strikes once again in the seamy underbelly of New York's high society, exposing scandalous secrets and unleashing an intense investigation into one of the most brutal crimes the city has ever known. Francesca must join forces with Rick Bragg, New York City's Police commissioner and the mans he cannot resist loving, as their search takes them through a twisted labyrinth of menacing lies, corruption, and a passion that refused to be denied...

May 11, 2003: I was glued to the book and finished it in 1 day.All I want to know is which one comes next? Is it Deadly pleasure or Deadly Desire.I know that in the end of Deadly Affairs she receives a note from Bragg's wife, so does anyone know which one comes next? Thanks.I just hope that the author doesn't drag this chemistry between Calder and Francesca too long.
Superb amateur sleuthby Anonymous

February 28, 2002: Francesca Cahil, the twenty-year-old daughter of wealthy parents, lives in a posh New York City neighborhood. In 1902, a young woman with her status should be going to society balls and looking for a rich husband, but she is hardly the typical debutante. She has enrolled in college, without her parents? knowledge, is trying to earn money as a sleuth, and is madly in love with the police commissioner, Rick Bragg.
Although Rick returns her feelings he keeps their relationship on a platonic level because he?s married although he hasn?t seen his wife for four years. The only part of contact these star-crossed lovers have is when Francesca inserts herself into a police investigation. While out on a case of her own, Francesca finds the dead body of a young Irish seamstress and learns from Bragg that there was another murder identical to the one the beautiful bluestocking discovered. Trying to keep their emotions in check, the two sleuths work together to uncover a very clever killer.
Although DEADLY AFFAIRS is labeled a romance, it is really an amateur sleuth mystery. Brenda Joyce writes a compelling tale filled with so many twists and turns that readers will never be able to discover who the killer is until the author is ready to reveal it. This is a series that will have crossover appeal to romance and mainstream readers.
