When Jenna Ross discovers an old manuscript hidden at the Peach Blossom Retreat, she's plunged into a gripping tale from the 1920s.

Welcome to the world of Ruthanne Thompson. Socialite. Speakeasy owner. Unlikely nemesis of a criminal syndicate.

Ruthanne, a bold young socialite, turns her family estate into a thriving speakeasy, but her success draws the ire of a powerful crime syndicate with ambitions to control the state.

When her husband enters the political arena, the stakes skyrocket. The syndicate can't afford the scrutiny of a politician they don't own.

Ruthanne joins forces with unlikely allies to bankrupt the criminal ring and to crush their political clout. But the deeper she digs, the closer she comes to becoming their next target.

A showdown looms in the shadows. Will Ruthanne's daring stand bring justice or seal her fate? The head of the syndicate is closer to her than she knows.
