A Place We Belong - Paperback

by Deanna R. Adams (Author)

When a burlesque queen seeks crime fighter Eliot Ness's help in finding her sister, their growing friendship causes friction in their personal and professional lives, as his investigation leads them down a dark path involving a corrupt adoption ring.

Forced into the world of burlesque at seventeen, Lydia Swanson not only adjusts, but becomes the Roxy Theater's leading fan dancer. Her life seems on the upswing. There's just one thing that's been nagging her the past five years-she has no clue what happened to her sister since the day authorities stripped her from her arms after their mother's death.

It's 1940, and Cleveland's famed city safety director, Eliot Ness, may be just the man to help her. When she musters the nerve to approach him, he surprises her by accepting her mission. But when it becomes clear that their bond is heading towards something more than they bargained for, things get complicated for Lydia and the married G-man. Their growing friendship causes friction in their personal and professional lives, and to make matters worse, their search for her sister leads them down an underground trail that exposes a nationwide corrupt adoption ring.

What happens next will change Lydia's life forever.
