You are the older sister of Frances Shea, the woman who just married Reggie Kray. You never liked the Krays, never wanted anything to do with their world of clubs, control, and crime. You came only to support your sister—and then disappear.

But Ronnie Kray noticed you.

He didn’t speak to you that night. At least, not directly. He simply watched—from the edge of the room. His gaze wasn’t flirtatious; it was cold, calculating. As if he was deciding who you were: a threat or a prize.

He said nothing. Only once, a barely noticeable tilt of his head—a sign no one else caught, but you did. And now you know you’ve been chosen.

Ronnie doesn’t invite. He just creates situations with no way out. And you’re a woman who doesn’t bend. That might just become his favorite problem.
