The Locksmith (Book 1)
Most authors write what they know. Linda Calvey writes what she lived.
They grew up with nothing. Just a regular family scraping by, living an honest life while crime ruled the East End. Until all that honesty and all that hard work left them with nothing.
Poor, destitute and hungry, young Ruby decides to pull them from the ashes. It starts as one job, one step outside the law. Yet that one step sets her on a path – straight to the top.
But in the East End you don't build an empire without making a few enemies . . .
Welcome to the underbelly of London, where criminals run the streets and one woman will do anything to protect her family.
The Game (Book 2)
After Ruby's husband, Archie, is brutally murdered, she is distraught.
But with an empire to run, Ruby has no time for tears. Determined to keep her family safe, she sends her beloved daughter Cathy away, far from the violence and secrets.
As Ruby fights off the affections of her business partner, Vladimir, as well as attacks from local gangs, she knows the game is too dangerous to stay in forever.
But who can be trusted, and who is out for blood?
In Ruby's empire, family is everything. So, when Cathy gets into trouble, Ruby vows to protect her, whatever the cost.
