For fans of Peaky Blinders and spicy, suspenseful dark romance.
In a city built on smoke and sin, love might be the deadliest risk of all.
For a quiet girl from the Cotswolds, the smoke-filled streets of 1920s Birmingham is a foreign world of soot, secrets, and sharp edges. Elisabeth Montgomery is thrust into a life she doesn’t understand, with a family that’s falling apart at the seams. Naive and innocent, Lizzie’s never known the thrill—or the risk—of a man’s touch.
Until she meets James MacGuire.
A brooding former Irish gangster with a past drenched in blood and whiskey. James is everything Lizzie should avoid, yet one smouldering encounter ignites a fire she can't extinguish. He''s dangerous, intoxicating... and hiding dark truths that could shatter them both.
As long-buried secrets rise to the surface and enemies close in, James must confront his past. But redemption comes at a cost—and Lizzie’s heart might be the price. Will love be enough, or will the truth destroy their only chance at a future?
