Product Information

Diamond longs to escape and have her revenge on the Wolfe family who had such a feud with her family and killed her father. This is a brutal story; intelligent, brave and full of action that will not leave anyone indifferent.

It’s tough and gritty, but very addictive and I stopped reading anything else so I could finish this.She was born rich, in the back of her gran's barrel top wagon, and her family thrived until their firm crashed into bankruptcy and became poor. Containing steamy sex scenes, graphic gangland violence, murder and even an execution scene this isn’t a book for the faint hearted but it’s certainly a real page turner. But then she meets Richard Beaumont, the youngest son of a wealthy aristocratic family, and sparks fly. Jessie's stand-alone novels include Jail Bird, The Make, Dangerous, Fearless, The Knock and The Manor. and there uncle Vincent takes over and is a cruel and heartless man Diamond hates the Wolfe family and will take revenge.

Warren's brother decides to take over the firm as well as the household using his bully boy and controlling ways. Diamond Butcher is a beautiful girl and the daughter of Warren Butcher the head of the Wolfe gang who run the streets of Soho.It’s been a while since I have read a Jessie Keane book and forgot how much I enjoyed her writing, although I found this one to be a bit different to her others I really enjoyed it.

Diamond flees to Paris and reinvents herself as Diamond Dupree doing whatever she has to do to survive however trouble seems to follow her. What a story this is to read, so fast pace and so full of history as we read Diamonds dynamic journey, it keeps you on the edge of your seat chapter after chapter, I loved it all. The baddies are well-drawn too and I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near them or in the middle of one of their fights. I think this is the core of this book; because Diamond Butcher, our main character, has to leave her family bounds to become something different and disconnect but it will not be as easy as she expects. But when she gets there the city is not the beautiful one that her mother has portrayed in her stories.

She has two younger brothers the youngest Owen who was born with the cord around his throat has learning difficulties but is loved no less than diamond or Archie her other brother.
