Beacon Hill, May 1921.

Vivienne Morrow has traded a Kneeland Street sewing machine for a marble floor and a household of vampires who've had two hundred years to practice contempt. She was never going to be a pet. So she learns every fork, every glance, every tilt of the head, and begins to do it back, better.

Three miles south, Phelan guards the old lines under South Boston with a blackthorn in his hand and a still in his cellar. He cannot lie. He cannot leave. And he cannot stop lighting a lamp in his window.

When a rival nest comes hunting, the treaty that keeps the city's dead and its living apart begins to crack, and Viv has to choose what she is willing to own, and what she is willing to lose.

Prohibition. A crash. A war of manners. And a question she has promised never to ask twice.

Tropes & content include: second chance at love · vampire court politics · the lamp in the window · forbidden love · Prohibition-era Boston · old Irish magic · slow burn
