Speakeasy, Speak Love
Sharon G. Clark

Margaret Graham comes from a family of some consequence and has finished a college degree to be a teacher, but is thoroughly under her brother's rule. He believes her education is nice, because it will land her a prominent husband. He has his partner in crime, Jimmy Bennet, at the top of the suitor list. Margaret, at first, is confused and frustrated by the immediate attraction to a mere boy-child when she and Finn meet. She learns the truth, but the knowledge--and the fact Fiona works for her brother--could cost Fiona her life.
The heat between Fiona and Margaret nears a boiling point; and, when rival gangsters, and Jimmy, turn up the heat on the Graham businesses, things become so dangerous that neither woman may survive long enough to leave for a better life, or explore their burgeoning love for each other.
