Oh yeah, I realise it doesn't snow in August in the northern hemisphere, I apologise deeply for that. I'm from Australia lmfao

It was the beginning of August 1919. Winter was full-blast in Manhattan. Snowstorms were frequent, ice covered the streets and everything was grey. It was my sixteenth birthday that day. The day all of New York went up in flames. Johnny found something that night, on the fifth of August.. what he found was not what he was expecting... This is the story of how Johnny escaped one of the biggest gangsters of the era.

43 parts Complete Mature

Banished for five years, Lady Belinda Carrington returns to Willowfair, claiming to know things one would find impossible to believe. With her tainted reputation, can Belinda make Town Guard McKenzie Haverston help her in her pursuit of the truth? *** After her banishment five years ago, Belinda Carrington returns with secrets and tales too impossible to believe. But something in her lies makes McKenzie Haverston desperate for the truth... When Belinda shows up in McKenzie's home asking for protection in return for important information on a case he's working on, he rejects her. But when he learns where she had been banished after her great scandal five years ago, he finds himself striking a deal with the woman-he protects her, she gives him answers. The question now is: how true is her tale? She was once considered the fairest of them all, but one scandal later, she has become the most reviled. And she is also being hunted. If Belinda wants to stay alive, she has to start trusting McKenzie Haverston, a task she finds to be surprisingly easy to do. However, as the truth of the past begins to resurface, and the secrets of her scandal is revealed, Belinda is confronted by her own demons, causing her to doubt her own reality.
