Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark romance with morally grey characters and don't need heroes to be good, just compelling.
  • You're drawn to retellings that twist beloved classics into something gritty and unrecognisable.
  • You want a why choose romance with real stakes where the heroine is playing a dangerous game, not simply being rescued.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer paranormal elements or fantasy worldbuilding in your dark romance.
  • You need your protagonist to be sympathetic from page one, not someone making ruthless choices.
  • You want a standalone rather than committing to a series with multiple books already lined up.

About this book

A contemporary retelling of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz set in a criminal underworld. The protagonist seeks out the Wizard to secure a new life, but faces multiple obstacles: her aunt Em, who wants her dead after she exposed a human trafficking operation; Westin Witcher, seeking revenge for her cousin's death; and a group of smugglers running Yellow Brick Taxi who control her passage to the Emerald City. The protagonist travels with three men—Crowe, who hides a violent past beneath a protective exterior; Danny, who presents himself as powerful but is actually a coward; and Nick, who is heartless. She possesses an emerald stolen from Eastin Witcher, which she plans to use as leverage with the Wizard. This is the first book in a contemporary why choose mafia romance series. It is not paranormal or fantasy. The second and third books in the series are scheduled for early 2024 and early spring 2024 respectively.
