Marvel and Mayhem: A 1920's Sequel

She was in the middle of nowhere. She knew no one, and she only had six cigarettes left. She was doomed. _______ Harrisburg, PA, 1926. New York City flapper, Mattie O'Keefe, lives and breathes for the next rush. City life is all she's ever known but a tragic disaster forces her to hide somewhere she never dreamed of, a farm. She despises everything about this forsaken place—dirt, animals, an outhouse, and Grant Emery. But if she leaves its concealed security, it will mean her death, and she's not ready to die. Grant Emery disagrees with his grandmother's decision to take Mattie on as a farmhand. He believes the wild redhead will only create more toil upon their already struggling farm. However, when mayhem ensues, he finds that the person he needs to beat their rival is the last one he'd ever choose—Mattie O'Keefe. Sometimes survival can take a providential twist. _______ "A fresh take on the turbulent 1920's, an era that springs to life under Cordero's pen. With snappy dialogue and a collision course of city meets country, this novel brims over with heart, wit, and a larger-than-life heroine you can't get enough of." Jocelyn Green, award-winning author of Between Two Shores "This story is a fast-moving ride full of endearing characters that will capture your imagination and sweep you back into the prohibition era and the stories of its conniving mafia, wealthy upper-crust, and struggling farmers. Prepare to journey through tragedy, heartache, and, eventually, hope." Shawn Smucker, author of The Day the Angels Fell "Marvel and Mayhem is my favourite kind of historical read: exceptionally researched, completely immersive and flourished with a cast of characters caught in the whirlwind of an era at the crux of conscience and self-preservation."
