Elizabeth Colvin is no stranger to the cruelty of the world. At the age of ten, her parents were murdered, and she was sent to an abusive foster family, from whom she managed to escape at fifteen. Resorting to stealing to survive, she figured everything was over when she was caught by Lieutenant Morris, but he gave her a chance at a new life, one she eagerly took.
Now an adult, and an investigative reporter, she plans to use this opportunity to make a difference and help those in need, exposing the corrupt underbelly of New York City. While chasing a story, Elizabeth stumbles upon a scene she shouldn't have, and is pulled into the heart of New York's corruption: the mafia. Armed with her intellect, wit, and a concealed gun, she is prepared to get her story, and escape with her life.
The only thing she's not prepared for are the two men who pull on her heartstrings, one belonging to a world of glamour and wealth, and another, to a world of blood and secrets.
