If you love Kimberley Chambers and Martina Cole don't miss out on the brand new, absolutely unputdownable series by Stephanie Harte!

All debts must be paid. In blood.

When underworld loan shark Davie Saunders is gunned down at his daughter's wedding, his loved ones are sure that a rival East End crime family is responsible. Davie's widow and daughters must now step up and take control of Davie's empire, but from the beginning it's clear they're in way over their heads.

Shy bride Mia has no experience of giving orders, self-centred middle-child Kelsey is more concerned with keeping her affair with bodyguard Todd a secret, and baby of the family Scarlett is very firmly kept out of the business while she finishes her education.

But all three sisters, as well as ex-model mum Amanda, are determined to do whatever it takes to get what they're owed.

Underestimate them at your peril...

Stephanie Harte The Bestselling Gangland Author

Risking It All

Gemma has always been there for Nathan. He's the love of her life and she made a commitment to him, one she'd never consider breaking... until smooth-talking gangster Alfie Watson comes into their lives and changes everything.

Alfie doesn't care about true love – he wants Gemma, and the gangster always gets what he wants. When Nathan ends up owing him money, Alfie gets payback by recruiting Gemma to carry out a jewellery heist. To everyone's surprise, she's a natural. Until Alfie forgives Nathan's debt, she has no choice but to accompany the gangster on more and more daring heists – even though one slip-up could cost her everything.

Nathan might have fallen under Alfie's spell, but it doesn't take long for him to realise that he needs to save Gemma from his own mistakes if their marriage is to have any chance of surviving. But when that means taking on the East End's most notorious gangster at his own game, will he find himself up to the challenge?

Tangled Lives

Nathan has tried to be a changed man for Gemma after they escaped gangster Alfie's clutches, but it doesn't take long for him to give into temptation... and now Alfie's back to get what's his.

Alfie doesn't like losing. The gangster has been biding his time ever since Nathan and Gemma escaped his clutches, but he's determined to collect his debt now. It helps that he knows about Gemma's big secret...

Gemma's been hiding something life-changing from her husband while they've been on the run. But now Alfie's back in town, her lies could cost her Nathan... and her son.

Forgive and Forget

Mob boss Alfie has new rivals in town – and they might be more than a match for the Essex gangster. Between defending his turf, appeasing his crime lord father and holding onto the woman of his dreams, Alfie knows that something's got to give...

Nathan's recovering from his coma and trying to come to terms with his wife's bombshell secret – that her son Luca was fathered by Alfie. Unconvinced of Gemma's loyalty, he turns to his estranged ex-con father for help...

Gemma will do anything to give her son a normal life – and she's surprised to find she has unexpected allies. But when the moment of truth arrives, can she trust Nathan to protect her and Luca?


	Secrets and Lies	Playing With Fire	Rolling the Dice
Standalones	When everyone else is lying to him, she's the only person he can trust.	All debts must be paid. In blood.	All they want is a brighter future but will taking a risk be worth the gamble?

Not feasible terrible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2022

I usually love this author and hate giving bad reviews however, For 1 the chances of a couple of girls taking over a company that buys debts using the strong arm is hard to swallow, as if hard nuts would be intimidated but even more unrealistic the eldest having an anxiety disorder is totally unbelievable. Worse the narrator was awful way too well spoken

No substance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2022

Verified Purchase

I really didn’t enjoy this book. Very little substance and quite frankly implausible. Very little in the way of surprises. I found myself flicking the pages as quickly as I could to get to the end. All the characters seem to come across as highly unlikeable. Sorry Stephanie I usually like your books.

The author repeats herself in order to pad out a very weak thriller. It’s not worth reading. Really. Don’t bother.
