Street Wars

He rules the streets. She just wants to keep her grans corner store standing.

Opal Younger has a corner shop in south-west Sydney, an overdraft she cant pay off, and a nineteen-year-old brother who swears hes staying out of trouble. The last thing she needs is a bleeding stranger in her back lane at midnight with the cops on his tail. But when she drags Grant Johnson through her storeroom door, she lets the war in with him.

Grant has held Thrush Street for six years, ever since his brother was gunned down outside the Kellwood Hotel. He keeps drugs away from the school and the shopkeepers safe. Now Luka Varga wants the street, and hes found the perfect way to get it: Opals little brother, a robbed drug run, and a forty-thousand-dollar debt that comes due on Monday.

Pay up, sign over the shop, or watch Jace end up in the creek like the last boy who crossed Varga.

Opal grew up watching her mother destroyed by men like Grant. She knows better than to trust a man in a leather jacket. But hes the only one standing between her family and Vargas guns. Every night he spends guarding her lane makes it harder to remember why she should keep him at arms length.

And someone inside Grants own crew has been selling them out for years.

With a firebomb through her window, a gun to her brothers head and a traitor closing in, Opal has to decide how much shes willing to risk for the man who brought the war to her door. Because on Thrush Street, love can get you killed.

A dark, steamy romantic suspense set on the streets of Sydney. Contains strong language, violence and explicit scenes.
