Sherlock Holmes has become legend, but his sister was lost to history.
In one hellish night, Morrigan Holmes ruined everything: her home, her family, her confidence, and her name. Fleeing scandal, loss, and grief, her only choice is to run, but London's gaslit streets are not kind to young women alone.
Within hours, she discovers the horrors of homelessness and the terrible invisibility of the marginalised poor. A child is kidnapped before her eyes, and she barely escapes the same fate. Adrift and alone, Morrigan seeks help in strange quarters: a radical suffragist with a haunted past, a half-blind journalist, a sinister physician, and a gang of street boys led by the striking and enigmatic Magpie.
As the number of kidnappings grows, something dark begins to take shape in the London mists. Time is short, still Morrigan cannot escape the family she devastated. Could Sherlock be her salvation... or her destruction?

The Detective's Bloom
In the heart of London, Rose Victoria, a young woman with a sharp intellect and a hidden vulnerability, crosses paths with the brilliant, yet emotionally distant, Sherlock Holmes. Though she's always relied on her own brilliance to navigate life's challenges, something about Sherlock's mysterious presence calls to her. Their connection begins as a collaboration on complex cases, but soon, the quiet moments and unspoken glances hint at something deeper-something neither of them is ready to confront. Rose's life is far from perfect. Beneath her sharp mind lies the burden of a troubled past, and a heart that she's been desperately trying to protect. But as she grows closer to Sherlock, her emotions are thrown into turmoil. She begins to realize that her feelings for him are far stronger than she ever intended, but revealing them could shatter everything she's worked so hard to keep hidden. While Sherlock's focus remains fixed on his cases, his aloof demeanor begins to crack as he grows increasingly aware of Rose's presence in his life. With her unparalleled intellect and her calming influence, she becomes more than just an ally-she becomes someone he finds himself protecting in ways he doesn't fully understand. In a world of complex deductions and life-or-death cases, *The Detective's Bloom* explores the delicate balance between intellect and emotion, between logic and love. As the danger around them intensifies, Sherlock realizes that saving those he loves-including Rose-might require more than just solving mysteries-it may demand sacrifices of the heart that he never saw coming. In a world of logic and deduction, can Sherlock Holmes, the master detective, protect the one person who has unexpectedly captured his heart, or will their blooming connection be torn apart by the very danger he's trying to stop?
