After Ruby's husband, Archie, is brutally murdered, she is distraught.
But with an empire to run, Ruby has no time for tears. Determined to keep her family safe, she sends her beloved daughter Cathy away, far from the violence and secrets.
As Ruby fights off the affections of her business partner, Vladimir, as well as attacks from local gangs, she knows the game is too dangerous to stay in forever.
But who can be trusted, and who is out for blood?
In Ruby's empire, family is everything. So, when Cathy gets into trouble, Ruby vows to protect her, whatever the cost.
IF YOU COME FOR THE QUEEN, YOU'D BETTER NOT MISS . . .
