Despite his attraction to Stella, Romulus knew she would be off-limits if she worked at Scientific World. Dallying with someone who reported to him would be asking for trouble. He sensed that she had the ability to disrupt his hard-won equilibrium, and he'd invested too much into creating the perfect life to let any woman interfere with that.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
MARCH 1897
Romulus White stood motionless in the crowded ballroom, staring at a woman he'd once longed for more than his next breath of air.
It was not a pleasant experience, especially since Laura stood alongside her doting husband. Even from a distance, her copper-red hair gleamed in the candlelight and made her stand out from the crowd.
It had been several years since Romulus had last seen her. He braced himself for the blinding wall of anguish that was sure to clobber him, but surprisingly, it didn't come. He waited, holding his breath, but the only emotion Laura's presence summoned was a cloudy swirl of bittersweet memories, an almost-pleasing sort of ache. Wasn't that strange? But perhaps that was the nature of a first great love. If such a profound experience didn't leave the trace of a scar, it would be disappointing.
"Are you going to say hello to her?" His cousin Evelyn drew up alongside him, pressing a glass of mulled cider into his hand.

Here's the blurb:
Stella West's artistic talent made her the toast of London, but when her beloved sister dies under mysterious circumstances she abandons everything and heads for Boston. With single-minded determination she fights to pierce the ring of secrecy surrounding her sister's death. Upon meeting Romulus White, a publisher with connections into every important power circle in the city, she quickly realizes he could be a valuable ally in navigating Boston society.
Romulus has been pursuing Stella for years to create art for his magazine. Her luminous illustrations are the missing piece he needs to propel his magazine to the forefront of the industry, and he will stop at nothing to get her on board.
Sparks fly the instant they join forces, but Romulus is unsettled by the unwelcome attraction he feels toward Stella, fearing she might be the one woman who could disrupt his hard-won independence. He may have finally met his match in Stella, but is helping her solve the mystery of her sister's death worth the risk to his publishing empire?
