She wanted a simple life, something mafia-free.
Florida had other plans.

St. Petersburg, Florida, 1944. Orphaned, broke, and fiercely alert to injustice, eighteen-year-old Thelma lands a coveted spot on the national Florida Girls war bond tour selling sunshine, glamour, and optimism as the war winds down. She thinks she's escaped her criminal past.

She hasn't.

The tour is a front. The mafia is watching. And her new boss, social-climbing Kathleen Young, is more than happy to throw Thelma into the fire if it helps her rise.

Then Kathleen lands in the crosshairs and the women form a shaky alliance and hit the road -- dodging mobsters, bullets, and each other.

Haunted by instincts she can't ignore and hunted by men she can't outrun, Thelma has no choice but to fight dirty. Between Kathleen's ruthless ambition and Thelma's dangerous vision, they just might prove women can have it all... if they live long enough.

"A rollicking debut brimming with colorful characters, twists and turns, and -- at its heart -- women who form an unbreakable bond."
-- Jane Heller, New York Times bestselling author

Perfect for fans of found family like Kristin Hannah's The Women, secrets and corruption like Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and star-crossed lovers like Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See.
