Going Down at the Point

Pittsburgh, 1926. The city runs on steel, secrets, and gin that isn't supposed to exist.

Eleanor Hart has never once chosen anything for herself - not her friends, not her future, not the man she's engaged to marry in June. She's spent her whole life being handled: by her mother, by society, by a fiancé who's already decided how the rest of her life is going to go.

Then a friend hands her an address on the back of a dance card, and one reckless night leads her through a hidden door in the Strip District, into a room lit violet and gold - and into the path of a woman who asks her exactly one dangerous question: what do you actually want?

Lila Bianchi built Violet's out of nothing after her father's death, and built a rule to go with it: never fall for the customers. She breaks it the moment Eleanor Hart walks in wearing gloves too fine to ruin.

What starts as one stolen evening becomes something neither of them can afford to want as badly as they do - not with a wedding bearing down, a family built entirely on appearances, and a city that has never once forgiven women like them for choosing each other.

GOING DOWN AT THE POINT is a slow-burn, high-stakes sapphic romance set against the smoke and glamour of Prohibition-era Pittsburgh - for readers who love forbidden love, found family, class-crossing romance, and a heroine who finally, finally learns how to want something for herself.
