A stand-alone novel from the bestselling author of the Bold Women Mist Windegaard, the 1920s is a world of elegant speakeasies, underworld empires, and international intrigue. Born into a family of brutal bootleggers, Mist has been told her whole life that she is ugly and worthless, but when her brothers decide to open a roadhouse on their family farm, Mist’s entrepreneurial skills soar. With her confidence growing, she changes not only her looks, but her attitude, and opens three elegant speakeasies in the Midwest. They are an immense success, and Mist becomes a master of balancing the perils with the prosperity of Prohibition America. But when a charming, wealthy playboy begins to pursue her, Mist is drawn into his life of intrigue and terror—the dangerous underworld of the Irish Republican Army.
