Legacy (Diamond)

Welcome to the brutal heart of London's East End, where loyalty is currency, family is everything, and power comes at a deadly price. She didn't choose this life. But now she's in it, she'll be damned if anyone takes it from her. Ruby never wanted to be part of the family business. She was meant for a life far from the streets her father, Colm Byrne, ruled with fear and favors. But when a violent triad war leaves Colm fighting for his life and the Byrne firm exposed, Ruby is dragged into a world she thought she'd escaped. As the Byrne brothers crumble under pressure, it's Ruby who steps up. Ruby's transformation into a powerful, calculating leader is as shocking as it is unstoppable. But every decision comes at a cost and as enemies close in, alliances fracture, and bodies fall, Ruby learns the crown might be hers, but it's built on blood. And some debts can only be paid in violence. Because she's not just Colm Byrne's daughter anymore. She's The Matriarch. And she's just getting started . . . Explosive, emotional, and laced with betrayal, Ruby Red is a hard-hitting saga of family, vengeance, and a woman who will do whatever it takes to protect what's hers.

She inherited his empire. Now she must survive it. Hackney's underworld has a new queen and she's not here to play nice. After the death of notorious gangland boss Colm Byrne, his daughter Ruby steps up to the throne. Sharp as broken glass and twice as dangerous, Ruby isn't just fighting to keep her father's legacy alive, she's reshaping it in her own ruthless image. But the streets are watching. Rivals are circling. And inside her own house, betrayal runs deep. As Ruby expands the Byrne empire, her enemies multiply. And when an Albanian crime boss dares step on her turf, Ruby doesn't just retaliate, she rewrites the rules. In a world of secrets, surveillance, and shifting loyalties, Ruby must decide what kind of leader she wants to be, and how far she's willing to go to keep power in Byrne hands . . . Gritty, gripping, and loaded with tension, Ruby Rising is a ferocious crime saga of bloodlines, betrayal, and a woman who refuses to break. Perfect for fans of Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers, and Jessie Keane.

She's reached the top. And the drop is deadly . . . Ruby Byrne took Hackney's underworld by the throat. But everything changed the day she became a mother. Now, with a four-year-old child to protect and a growing empire, she must play a new kind of game-one with higher stakes and fewer rules. But the East End doesn't forget. And it doesn't forgive. When whispers from the past start circling and rivals begin sniffing around, Ruby's forced to face the truth: you can clean up the business, but you can't wash the blood from your hands. As new enemies emerge and loyalty is tested to its limit, Ruby must decide what matters most-her child's safety or her iron grip on the throne. Because in this world, the only thing more dangerous than power . . . is love. Explosive, emotional, and laced with danger, Ruby Rules is a hard-hitting saga of family, power, and a woman who will do whatever it takes to protect what's hers.
