It's the summer of 1900 in London's gritty East End. The ruthless, complicated gangster Sid Malone rules the streets of Whitechapel with an iron fist, but cannot rule his own heart.
A forbidden love for India Selwyn Jones, an idealistic young doctor, torments Sid. He's certain the violence of his underworld life will only lead to tragedy for a soul whose kindness and decency are like nothing he's ever known.
When India's new hospital is robbed in a stealthy nighttime raid, Sid's worst fears are confirmed. Convinced a powerful rival is closing in, he distances himself from India to keep her safe. But what he doesn't see is that the one who needs saving might just be himself.
Where Roses Fall is set between parts one and two of The Winter Rose, the second book of The Tea Rose saga.
