Amari Bell is a woman of science and order. As a museum conservator in 2025, her life is a quiet collection of artifacts and facts. But when a cursed ring from a notorious 1920s gangster’s collection sends her hurtling through time, her meticulously ordered world is annihilated. She lands in the grimy, rain-slicked reality of 1925 Chicago, at the feet of the ring’s original Dante Rinaldi. The ruthless, possessive, and dangerously handsome mob boss known as ‘The Butcher’ doesn’t see a lost historian. He sees a weapon, a beautiful anomaly who appeared from nowhere to save his life. Trapped in a violent past she only ever studied, Amari’s knowledge of the future becomes her only currency for survival. But as she’s drawn deeper into Dante’s brutal world of speakeasies and gang wars, the line between captor and protector blurs into a fiery, forbidden passion.
