Set during the flamboyant
anything-goes era of 1920’s America, these three tales are filled with
intriguing characters and rich imagery from the time period—with flappers, jazz
music, gangsters, and lavish wealth. Escape to a different decade today with
the compelling stories of the Canary Club Anthology.
Novelette 1- Gilded Cage
Masie, the flaxen-haired daughter
of notorious bootlegger Dutch Schultz, returns home from boarding school to
find her family in crisis. Her mother is dangerously unstable, her father’s
empire is on the brink of ruin, and the boy she once loved has become a
ruthless killer for hire. To keep her family’s dangerous secrets, Masie is
forced into a lie that will change the course of her future—and leave her
trapped in a gilded cage of her own making.
Novelette 2- All That Glitters
A dame with brains, moxie, and
killer curves, June West isn’t your average flapper. She’s managed to endear
herself to the son of one of the most powerful gangsters in New York, earning
herself a spot in the limelight that she’s always longed for. With the infamous

when her carefully woven web of lies finally catches up with her, she must make
an impossible choice… come clean about her past and risk losing everything, or
find a way to bury her demons—once and for all.

of lightning. From a wealthy New York family, this debutante is everything he’s

he knows the only way to get her parents approval is with cold hard cash. So
when a shot at the biggest score of his life comes around, he just can’t
