Love & Knives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764267069)

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?
