The Maguire-Law family is still in mourning. Jules Driscoll, an integral part of their criminal empire, survived the attack on her by the ferocious Slattery clan, however she remains locked in a coma with no sign of waking up. Despite the retribution the Maguires and Laws took on the Slatterys for this atrocity, their leader Jared still lives, his shadow hanging over them like an ever-present threat.

Adding to the pressure, their deadliest rivals, led by Katia and her increasingly dominant crew, are restless, unsatisfied by how far they've come in such a short space of time. They want more, especially the Maguire-Law empire.

Meanwhile in Devon, Rachel and Ryan Law's daughter Leah has got herself in a mess. Possessed by the desire to be just like her parents, she's set up her own vigilante gang with her older and dangerous boyfriend, Reid. However Reid has crossed a line and killed two people. With Reid growing increasingly unstable, Leah finds herself trapped in a volatile situation and can see no way out.

Back in Manchester, another and unexpected threat arises in the form of a traitor in their own family whose actions threaten to topple their reign once and for all.

Contains bad language and scenes of sex and violence.

Please note this is not a stand-alone book and is part of a series.

Author of over seventy books so far. Living on the beautiful west coast of Scotland with my husband, twin daughters and a cat called Mavis, although I am originally from Lancashire in the north of England.

My tastes in all things are eclectic, which extends to my writing. Although I primarily write crime books - especially gangland thrillers - I also write gothic historical romance and fantasy. I publish on Amazon Kindle and some of my novels are available in paperback too. I also have a traditional publishing contract with Boldwood Books.

When I'm not writing - which isn't very often - I enjoy reading Daphne Du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, MR James and the Brontes, among many others. I also enjoy swimming, walking and spending time with my family.

Another hit

I loved this book, an old enemy of the Laws comes back for vengeance and payback. The families are all involved, helping Ryan and Rachel through the devastation that is upon them I also cheered for Nude,, her long road to recovery is anything but easy for her, I was routing all the way. It's another great book by this talented author and I can't wait to start the next one
