Shanghai is on the verge of upheaval in the year 1927. The heartwarming sequel to These Violent Delights is a creative, seductive reimagining of Romeo and Juliet set in Shanghai in the 1920s. Juliette has been a girl on the warpath since she sacrificed her romance with Roma in order to keep him safe from the blood conflict. If she makes the wrong move, her cousin will take over as the Scarlet Gang's heir. The only way to protect the boy she loves from the Scarlets' vengeance is to make him hate her for brutally killing his best buddy. Juliette's rejection could hurt less if she were genuinely responsible for the crime Roma thinks she committed.
