Sequel to Playing with Fire by bestselling gangland author Stephanie Harte.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The unputdownable new gangland thriller, perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Martina Cole and Emma Tallon.

Nobody stays at the top forever.

Since East End loan shark Davie Saunders was murdered, his widow and three daughters have taken control of the business. But it’s harder to gain the respect of their clients than they imagined, especially when Mum Amanda can’t get her girls to work together.

Fragile eldest daughter Mia seems to be crumbling under the pressure, wild-child Kelsey is taking a casual approach to responsibility, and pampered princess Scarlett is more focused on finding out the truth about her missing boyfriend than keeping the business afloat.

Perhaps they’re just not cut out for it… or maybe someone is out to get them.

Readers absolutely love Stephanie Harte!
