The Ghost of Your Face

Everyone in the city knows Julian Vance and Scarlett Stone are a match made in hell, two ruthless partners who clawed their way over piles of bodies to rule the underworld together. Julian once swore he would love her until the day he died — until he took a bullet for her and met Natalie Frost, the sweet nurse who bandaged his wounds and promised him a peaceful home. Now he begs Scarlett to let the pregnant Natalie stay, offering the shipping terminals at the docks as payment.

Scarlett nods, but her coldness hides a deeper truth: Julian was never the one she loved. He was merely the man who looked most like Colin Stone, and now that face is useless to her. She orders her butler to prepare a room for Natalie and, in the same breath, to find a chance to ruin Julian's face — she will not let him die wearing Colin's.

When Julian is burned in a warehouse ambush, Scarlett takes control of the business and lets him retreat into domestic life with Natalie. But the blood on her coat belongs to his own right-hand man, and the two women may want the same thing.
