Description
It's 1922. Prohibition started roughly over two years ago, and alcohol consumption is at an all time high. To those who wanted to make a decent buck, that was the route you needed to take. Lavinia "Vinnie" Lawrence was, for the most part, book-smart. Like her ma always said, she could've done great things if they just had the money to send her away. But they didn't, and now her ma's been dead for nearly a decade. Queue Allen de Luca--bootlegger and gangster extraordinaire who saved Vinnie from an assailant on his territory. He's got a knack for crime and has never believed that women should be at the brunt of any man's qualms. When their lives intercept, things change both for Vinnie and Allen in ways they didn't believe could happen. In a story filled with prohibition, criminal activity, and finding love in the shadiest of places, the two find themselves completely and utterly enamored with another. The more Vinnie sticks around Allen, the more her life changes... for better or for worse.
