The Silhouette: The Loud Years Book 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196960680)

One bar. One basement. One rope that ties you to everyone in the room.

It's 2010. Maeve Donnelly is freshly single and writing a book about the Boston dive bars nobody's saving. The Silhouette is the best of them - and six months from the wrecking ball.

She came to write a chapter. Cass had other plans.

Cass is the bartender who's clocked Maeve for two years: what she drinks, what she's hungry for, what she won't say out loud. Cass runs the bar. Cass also runs what's under it - a collective of eleven, a basement, and a rope that means what a vow means.

They decide Maeve belongs in the room. She says yes faster than that.

Four weeks to learn what it costs to be watched, suspended, shared, and finally tied down and taken by the one man she swore she'd left in Providence. But a burned ex-member just walked back into the bar with a grudge - and what happens in the basement only stays buried if nobody looks too hard.

She came to save the bar. She's about to find out what the bar is here to save.
