As a barmaid, Katie often hears secrets that she shouldn't. Especially working at a pub owned by the infamous O'Reilly brothers.
All Katie wants is to put food on the table for her daughter, Hope. But when she is approached by two detectives interested in the O'Reilly's nefarious business ventures, she is faced with an impossible choice . . .
The only way to keep her family safe is to become the police's informant.
But with men like the O'Reillys, she knows this is a very dangerous game.
One that could cost her everything.
