Jack Grey stepped off the downtown train and back into her life. A life she’d completely transformed from the old mob days. He didn’t even recognize her when they came face to face.
Everything about the old Fanny disappeared long ago, the color of her hair, her speech, the way she dressed. And now, she was the owner of the hottest restaurant in around, The Crystal Daffodil. She chose the name because the meaning of her favorite flower, the daffodil, meant a new beginning. Her friends, Ruth, Peter, Hattie, and Cal were all instrumental in the transformation of Fanny from mob moll to Miss Z, proprietor of the best restaurant in the county. Her beauty attracted the attention of many men, but she kept them all at arm’s length. The heartbreak she experienced in her past didn’t allow her to let her guard down, not even for an instant.
Now Jack entered her world and fear of exposure haunted her.
But he wasn’t the only one to stir things up. Another admirer persisted in frequenting the restaurant, constantly badgering her to have dinner with him. Gordon Young, a prominent newspaper editor. To get rid of him, she accepted, only to regret her decision.
Even as she juggled the unwanted attention, another man stepped into the fray. Her chauffeur, Melvin. Even though he had not declared his amorous sensitivities, his eyes betrayed his heart with each glance. She knew a confrontation was inevitable.
Jack wasn’t the only mob member to return to the city after five years. Moose, her former bow, kept a low profile but watched out for her without revealing himself—even worked for the obnoxious Gordon Young for better opportunity to make sure she stayed safe. But it wasn’t enough.
These men cluttered her life as she maintained a cool distance, but someone would soon wreak havoc in her finely crafted life. Terror came to her one night when she found herself trapped in a basement, her captor insisting on marriage.
No matter how much she wanted her unsavory deeds to fade away, she couldn’t escape them all. Doubt of her accomplishments permeated her mind, thoughts of only always being just a mob moll haunted her.
Her friends frantically searched for her, accusing those both in her present and in her past of the abduction. The police had no leads. She’d disappeared without a trace.
The experience left Fanny unable to cope and kept the men who loved her at bay, wondering if she could ever be the same again.
In this fifth book of the series, Fanny Zapelli runs the gamut of emotions. From the pride of accomplishment to the crippling self-doubt that gripped her. Fanny might lose everything she worked for if her inner strength failed her.
Her journey is much like our own at times. Could we withstand the pressure of self-doubt without friends and loved ones who care about us? Fanny’s aloof, go-it-alone-demeanor may be her end.
