Prohibition is the law of the land, but Nellie needs cash - after socking a gangster in the face, she's got ten days to make it right. Frightened and caught empty-handed, Nellie turns bootlegger. She accepts a job from her sly friend Lola to pick up some liquor. It should be a cinch, seeing as how Nellie's dependable mechanic friend Felix volunteers to help drive her car. But an encounter at a speakeasy sends idealistic cop Lester on the chase - and he's not exactly looking for cash. As tensions between Chicago lawmen and gangs grow worse by the day, all the fast talking in the world might not be enough to keep Nellie and her friends out of jail. Or alive. * * * * * * * * * * Felix drums his fingers along the steering wheel. A man exits the other car, dressed to the nines with a fine-looking fedora. A very bad feeling begins to swirl inside my chest. He's certainly no cop. The attendant is hurrying with the pump. Felix has tensed beside me, staring with fascination directly ahead. "Are they watching us?" "The one fella is." Felix presses his lips together. But he knows we can't leave. We need the gas. Felix has a back-up can of it stowed somewhere but that's for emergencies. Is this a real emergency? One of the other fellas hops out. Before the door slams I notice what his still-seated friend is holding. A tommy gun. My skin prickles. Felix pales. We're just playing at bootlegging now. But those folks are the real deal-complete with hired guns to protect their hooch. Felix's hand moves to the starter and I knock it away. The one in the fedora has seen us. He casually makes his way over and I know our story isn't good enough; this guy will notice we snooped even when we didn't mean to and we'll be in some sort of a mess. So I ditch our story. I throw myself at Felix and kiss him as thoroughly as I know how.

Written post Steven Bomb 8. Kevin is a shameless flirt while Jamie is a hopeless romantic, so when the two meet unexpectedly, the mailman is left star stuck. It's exhilarating, thrilling and the two can't deny that there's something there, even when they try. But a mysterious tragedy unexpectedly strikes the small population of Beach City, and the path of stepping stones to move on after it leads to them confronting the feelings that are impossible to ignore. I'm terrible at summaries.

Juliet: It was a Wednesday night and I was drunk. Well, more like tipsy. No, that's a lie I was basically the dictionary definition of drunk right now. Yet, I could still feel his burning stare on my back as I danced. I turned to meet the icy blue stare of a handsome stranger; his whole countenance radiated danger that attracted me in a way no boy ever had before. Who was I kidding, he wasn't a boy; he was a man. I was entranced; he was like no man I had ever seen before. He was everything that my father had told me I could never be with; dangerous; rough; criminal; and, worst of all, white. I had nothing against white men, of course. It was just an obvious rule in my strict household that we do not talk to white people; we do not become friends with white people; and we most definitely do not date them. For this reason, I had never even taken a second look at a white man, no matter how attractive. However, I could not seem to look away from this one; it was like I was trapped and I couldn't look away even if I wanted to, and trust me I didn't. Blake: I could never be with Juliet, the life of a crime boss' wife is not one most people can handle. I wouldn't want her to be tainted by that life style, if we were to ever be together. Plus, we could never have a family. At any given moment I could be killed. She could be killed. I can't let that happen. I refuse to end up like my papa. It is better to marry someone that I do not love, to save myself any heartbreak. So, I decided that just for tonight I will pretend that Juliet is mine. But, after tonight, we will not see each other again. If only I knew how hard that was going to be. It's just another star crossed lover story, but this time with a twist.
