Jasmine Increscent: The Subversive Lovelies, Book Two, Volume Two

By Susan Corso

Jasmine Bailey is the second eldest of the Bailey siblings. Known for being much more in the present than the future, she knew twenty years earlier that she'd wanted to serve mothers who'd been abandoned by their spouses in the worst slum of all: Five Points. And she'd done it. Known nearly universally throughout Gilded Age Manhattan as Lady Jasmine, philanthropists got out their checkbooks when they saw her strawberry blonde braid and her lissome figure.Now it's time for Jasmine's vicety--the second of four the sibs had planned upon the death of their beloved father four years earlier. Since then, Jezebel's concerns, The Obstreperous Trumpet, a saloon, and The Salacious Sundae, an ice cream parlor, were going great guns, and it was long past due for Jasmine's turn. She'd intended to create a high-end gambling hell. Except ... her wedding is scheduled in less than a month, and she's increasing. There's a lot on her plate.Jasmine's research takes her from the lowest of the low policy shops in Mulberry Bend to the most elite gambling institution in town. And still she struggles with what is in her heart about starting this business. A chance--if you believe in that sort of thing--sentence overheard whilst at breakfast one morning changes everything. Jasmine creates a dream team, an absolutely necessity for dreams-come-true. And gets married, and grows progeny, and helps her siblings address a terrible injustice in their world all at once everywhere.
