Georgina Garrett is back and more daring than ever!
Follow Georgina as she builds up her empire in the second thrilling instalment of the Georgina Garrett series.
Bold, Powerful and VERY Exciting! 
Bold, powerful and very exciting .. a fantastic sequel to Trickster!
It was obvious from the first book in this stunning series that Georgina Garrett had great ambition, and this is where we begin to see how she is going to achieve her aims. With gangs from surrounding areas trying to take over her ‘manor’, Georgina decides now is the time to make her play for power and beat them at their own game. With others depending on her, it’s more important than ever that she establishes herself as an equal and not a pushover – female or not . . .
This is a knockout read – in more ways than one! Seamlessly continuing on from the first, the original story came flooding back very quickly as I began to turn the pages on my kindle. Georgina is a strong personality who inspires the women surrounding her to channel their inner steel core and show no fear – even when they are quivering like jelly on the inside. Not everyone masters this, but then not everyone has to cope with what this group have thrown in their path. This is a real page turner – fast moving, heart pounding and attention grabbing from an author who writes about the period with style and panache. The gritty crimes are beautifully balanced with superb characters and a fantastic story line which makes this a complete read all of it’s own whilst leaving plenty of scope for the next novel to advance the tale. A really engrossing and rewarding read, completely worth all five stars and a firm recommendation to add this one as soon as you possibly can!

Author Bio
Sam Michaels writes gritty historical crime sagas set in Battersea, South London, which is where she was born and bred, the council estates being her playground.
After leaving school at sixteen with no qualifications, Sam married soon after and had a son. The marriage ended quickly, and as a single mother, she worked in various retail positions until undertaking an Open University degree. This led to Sam becoming an analytical scientist and then into technical sales where she met her husband.
A few years later, they moved from Hampshire to Spain. It was then that her mother, the Sunday Times best-selling author, Kitty Neale, inspired Sam to put pen to paper. She now writes her novels in sunnier climates with the company of her husband, four dogs and six cats.
