About this audiobook

Summary

One wrong stitch could unravel everything. Prohibition-era New York pulses with jazz, gin, and dangerous ambition—and Clara Moretti, a talented seamstress fresh off the boat from Naples, is determined to claim her share. Her exquisite designs catch the eye of Manhattan's elite, but they also attract a powerful underworld figure who wants her skills for far darker purposes. Caught between the glittering promise of Fifth Avenue and the city's ruthless shadow economy, Clara must risk everything to build a future on her own terms.
