Historical romance · Forbidden love
Velvet Hour
Every drink is illegal. So is falling for either of them.
THE LAST SET COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.
Behind the
first choice.
Frankie Adler inherits a speakeasy, a brother’s unanswered death, and a debt the books cannot explain. Vivienne Laurent sings like she knows the ending. New pianist Elliott Marsh asks questions no musician needs answered. With one week to save the Velvet Hour, every secret has a rhythm—and every choice raises the stakes.
Behind the Velvet Hour’s doors, the drinks are illegal and the music keeps the world outside at a distance. Frankie’s inheritance comes with a debt to racket boss Silas Crane, whose figures do not match any honest ledger. Saving the club means learning what really happened before it became Frankie’s.
Torch singer Vivienne Laurent has a past she cannot afford to perform in public. Pianist Elliott Marsh seems steady enough to trust, until his questions suggest another reason for taking the job. Attraction and suspicion arrive on the same downbeat.
Step into a Jazz Age romance where nerve and discretion can change the night. Handle the debt, decide whom to confide in, and choose what the club’s survival should mean for the people who make it worth saving.
