Emerald and Flame

The summer of 1925 is meant to be a celebration of Julian St. Claire and Beatrice Vane's engagement. But beneath the jazz records and champagne toasts, a treacherous game is afoot. While Julian pours his heart into a future with a woman who does not deserve him, Beatrice is slipping away into the night to meet Kian O'Shea, an ex-marine turning into a "pirate" that rules the caves.
Evangeline Thorne, ever the loyal friend, becomes the accidental keeper of their secrets. She watches with an aching heart as Julian remains blind to his fiancée's infidelity. When a series of unexpected situations threatens to expose Beatrice's affair and destroy Julian's spirit-or worse, lead to a dangerous confrontation-Evangeline makes a desperate choice.
