The final novel in Joanna Shupe's critically acclaimed Uptown Girl series about a beautiful do-gooder who must decide if she can team up with one of New York's brashest criminals without losing something irreplaceable: her heart. Manhattan kingpin. Brilliant mastermind. Gentleman gangster. He's built a wall around his heart... Orphaned and abandoned on the Bowery's mean streets, Jack Mulligan survived on strength, cunning, and ambition. Now he rules his territory better than any politician or copper ever could. He didn't get here by being soft. But in uptown do-gooder Justine Greene―the very definition of an iron fist in a velvet glove―Jack may have met his match. She wears hers on her sleeve... Justine is devoted to tracking down deadbeat husbands and fighting for fair working conditions. When her mission brings her face-to-face with Jack, she's shocked to find the man behind the criminal empire is considerably more charming and honorable than many "gentlemen" she knows. Forming an unlikely alliance, they discover an unexpected desire. And when Justine's past catches up with them, Jack may be her only hope of survival. Is she ready to make a deal with the devil...?

    Wow. I knew I would love Jack after reading The Prince of Broadway, but I did not expect to find so many more things to love. A criminal who is trying to help the most do gooder ever.

    Watching as Justine grew from the baby of the family to an adult, finding herself and her joys.

    I just really loved this finale so much. I adore the gilded age that Joanna presents to us as readers and the characters within it. I didn't know for sure if anything could match Florence and Clay, but somehow this does.
