Firebrands is a high-stakes feminist gem from the world of early 20th-century activism, blending political intrigue, social justice, and the courage of women who risked everything to demand change. A story of passion and power that reshaped history, it's as riveting as it is timely.

A radiant feminist standout polished with humor, heat, and sharp edges

New York is crackling with unrest, ambition, and the scent of revolution. Helena James--suffragist, speaker, and trouble magnet--stands at the heart of it all, rallying crowds and rattling politicians. But when her beloved sister Summer falls for Derrick Dupré, a mysterious tycoon with a velvet smile and a hidden past, Helena's fight for justice gets personal.

Brimming with twisty suspense, romance, forbidden lust, and humor, Firebrands explores the lighter side of the feminist movement, the darker side of industrialization, and the loving but confounding side of sisterhood. Sure to appeal to fans of the HBO series The Gilded Age, Firebrands is thematically tied to Gilded Mountain, with its push for labor rights, equality, and freedom.

At a time when women had few choices, Firebrands tells a story as relevant today as it was over 100 years ago.
