An examination of different theoretical, methodological and practical approaches towards the management of risk.

A nasty fall and an antebellum dress changes Holly Marcum’s life forever. Once she is revived, nothing is familiar…. The dress shop, her meddling aunt, and life as she knows it have all vanished. Instead a handsome stranger confronts her and accuses her of theft. One moment Jeremiah Devereaux was in his store room alone, and the next a strange woman appeared wearing a gown specially ordered for one of his wealthiest clients. Is she a vagrant or a thief, and how on earth did she get there? When Holly suddenly falls ill, Jeremiah’s sister insists on taking her in and caring for her. Can he risk the beautiful stranger staying under his roof–or will he lose more than his merchandise?

The crew is notorious for its deadly efficiency and its disinterest in anything but money. So why has it turned from seller to buyer, grabbing up houses on a decaying block where only a few holdouts remain? Both the cops and the underworld are watching closely . . . but are they the only ones?
