Stone's Throe - Paperback

by C. E. Murphy (Author)

A monster-a mobster-a lover.

Le Monstre aux Yeux Verts, the Green-Eyed Monster, holds Paris under his thumb, but young Amelia Stone vows to free her parents from his influence at any cost. Born to carry the spirit of justice through a new century, she risks everything-even the love of her family's mysterious Benefactor-to right the wrongs the Green-Eyed Monster has wrought...and in one crumbling moment, she both succeeds, and loses everything...

But when rumor of all-too-familiar danger returns, Amelia fears her long-ago successes were failures after all. A new phantom haunts Josephine Baker, star of the Parisian opera house, and Amelia is determined that Josephine won't suffer the same losses her own family did many years ago. In order to keep the singer safe, Amelia must face her own regrets, reckon with her oldest enemy...and once more find herself in love's throes.

Because Hell may have no fury like devotion denied...but by Amelia's hand, justice will be done.
