Nothing Gold (2017)

by Sherry D. Ficklin
(#3 in Canary Club (Prequel))

New York, 1927

Dickey Lewis has been down on his luck since the day he was born. Flat broke and sick of being looked down on, his meeting young socialite Lilly Rose at a wild party is like a strike of lightning. From a wealthy New York family, this debutante is everything he’s been told he can never have—and the only thing he wants. Determined to win her, he knows the only way to keep her from being married off to another fella is with cold hard cash, enough of it for them to run away and start a new life together. When a shot at the biggest score of his life comes around, he can’t refuse. One heist and he can have everything he ever dreamed of—or so he thinks. When things go sideways and he finds himself the unwitting pawn in a much larger game, he will risk it all for the dame he loves. But in a city on the brink of war, alliances of the heart can be the most deadly kind.

Nothing Gold is a novellette and leads into the full-length novel, The Canary Club.
