Synopsis
The second book in the Magnolia Parks Universe turns from the socialites to the shadows, following Daisy Haites — the fiercely loyal younger sister of Julian Haites, the man who quietly runs London's criminal underworld. Sheltered and adored by a family built on danger, Daisy longs for a life of her own.
Enter Christian Hemmes, BJ Ballentine's magnetic best friend, whose ties to Julian's world pull him into Daisy's orbit. What begins as complication becomes something neither of them planned, as the glittering surface of London society and the ruthless machinery beneath it collide around them.
Jessa Hastings widens her interconnected saga with a romance that trades ballrooms for something more dangerous, deepening the web of loyalties, secrets, and desire that binds the Magnolia Parks world together.
