Charlotte LeDoux’s nine-year marriage to bootlegging kingpin, Gus “Lucky” LeDoux, is falling apart. The same day Char learns she’s pregnant, she catches Gus in the act of adultery and it’s clear he has no intention of ending the affair. Soon after, their night club is raided by Federal agents. As she flees from the chaos, Char becomes separated from Gus and she’s faced with a choice: search out her fugitive husband or change her identity and disappear. With her life in shambles and her future in doubt, she knows what she must do to protect her child.

Char alters her appearance and takes a job in domestic service for a private investigator. At first, living in Will Van Elsberg’s home is quiet, comfortable and safe, but everything changes the day Gus seeks out Will to find his missing wife. As Will’s investigation closes in on her, Char must once again make a decision. Should she run away again or face her violent husband and fight for her freedom? With her back to the wall, Char discovers she has more strength and determination than she ever thought possible.

  It’s 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota and Prohibition is in full swing. A woman can vote, work full time, show her legs in public and cut her hair but she can’t enter a speakeasy without a man by her side…

Charlotte LeDoux is struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Her late husband, Gus, has left her a lot to deal with—his sprawling business empire, his enemies and an ex-mistress who desperately needs a friend. It’s tough for a woman to compete in a man’s world and even though it’s a never-ending uphill battle, she is determined to succeed. 

Char gets a new Model T and is excited when William Van Elsberg offers to give her a driving lesson. She’s attracted to the handsome private detective, who, in many ways, is the polar opposite of Gus. Will takes her out for a spin in the car and instructs her how to drive, but at the same time, teaches her how to love again. She’s never been so happy!

Meanwhile, Gus’ enemies are circling like vultures. An anonymous note threatening Char’s life forces Will to become her personal bodyguard. He’s highly qualified, but Char’s stubborn belief in her own independence makes it the most difficult job he’s ever taken. Can he keep her safe or will he lose her in the most dangerous fight of her life?

It’s June, 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota and Charlotte LeDoux is determined to reinvent herself. Her late husband, a notorious bootlegger, left her a Summit Avenue mansion, a secret room filled with cash, and a reputation riddled with bullet holes.

Char is desperate to rebuild her identity as an honest entrepreneur, but her plans falter when she repeatedly encounters unfair bias. Then she learns that one foolish mistake with her beau has left her pregnant—the final blow to not only her character but her aspirations as well. She realizes it’s time to marry the man she loves and turn her life in a new direction. That is, until she learns he has betrayed her trust. Her belief in Will and in true love is shattered.

Will Van Elsberg is a tough private investigator, but he’s no match for his headstrong gal. He’s so madly in love with Char, however, that he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. When he learns she’s pregnant, he’s anxious to tie the knot. Instead, their engagement is doomed after Char discovers he’s withheld crucial information from her. He’s determined to tell her everything to win back her trust but the situation changes when Char suddenly goes missing and he finds a ransom note in her car. Facing an unknown enemy who holds all the cards, Will is thrust into the greatest crisis of his life--to rescue a woman carrying his child who means more to him than life itself.
