Overview

In the ruthless underworld of 19th-century Five Points, power is survival—love is a risk.

Miranda Sable rules her criminal empire with an iron will and a hidden blade. Betrayal lurks in every shadow, but when a trusted lieutenant turns against her, she must fight to keep her throne—or die trying.

Enter Celeste Marlowe, a silver-tongued con artist with a past as murky as the city’s gaslit alleys. When fate entwines their paths, Miranda doesn’t know if Celeste is a rival, an ally… or a dangerous temptation. As secrets unravel and the battle for control escalates, one thing becomes clear: in this world, loyalty is a currency rarer than gold, and surrendering to desire could cost them everything.

A slow-burn, high-stakes sapphic romance set against the backdrop of a deadly power struggle. Perfect for fans of historical intrigue, razor-sharp heroines, and undeniable chemistry.
