Description
Lucy Drake's mastery of Morse code has made her a valuable asset to the American news agencies as a telegrapher. But the sudden arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith at rival British news agency Reuters puts her hard-earned livelihood at risk. Newly arrived from London, Colin is talented, handsome, and insufferably charming.
Despite their rivalry, Lucy realizes Colin's connections could be just what her family needs to turn the tide of their long legal battle over the fortune they were swindled out of forty years ago. When she negotiates an unlikely alliance with him, neither of them realizes how far the web of treachery they're wading into will take them.

In A Dangerous Legacy, hardworking Lucy Drake works as a telegraph operator at the AP news agency. When the charming Sir Colin Beckwith arrives to work at the British news agency in New York City, sparks fly as Lucy and Colin compete for business. Despite their initial attraction, each knows that nothing more can happen, for Colin must marry for money to fix his family estate back in England. That is his legacy.
Meanwhile, Lucy and her brother Nick are embroiled in a forty-year-old legal battle with their uncle, trying to recover a fortune their uncle cheated their father out of. Lucy and Nick spend their hard-earned money on the lawsuit, even as their uncle deals with them underhandedly. That is their legacy. Will they ever see their justice for their inheritance?
Camden writes with vivid historical detail as she tells the story of two rival new agencies competing in this turn of the century world. The historical details were interesting but didn’t slow down the book’s development.
While the faith element is extremely light, the values of the main characters are admirable and their relationship is wholesome and clean. The story moves along with its mysterious elements and intrigue weaving its way throughout the story. The intrigue will keep the reader’s attention until the final page, and have them eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Anything that Elizabeth Camden writes will always end up being my favorite! Lucy and Colin were such beautiful and unique characters! The setting was also incredible and I could see all the scenes coming to life as the author described them! Can't wait to read the other books in the series!
