Rosalie Castell waded through life determined to keep herself, and the business she inherited, afloat by whatever means necessary. But being a businesswoman in 1924 is no easy feat. With the waters becoming more treacherous the deeper she goes, and shady characters taking a nefarious interest in the business she owns, she is forced to make choices that could have dire consequences.

As she grows increasingly more entangled in this dangerous world, a new intake from Atlantic City - a twice wounded war vet with mysterious past and a haunted look in his eye - threatens to shatter the illusion of complacency she built up for herself, exposing the loneliness that had been festering beneath.

Shadows of the Night by charlizekkelly

"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows." *** Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start. However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate. Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain. They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx. Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.
