Further details

A few months on, the outlaws still have time to serve on their sentences. But they discover the criminal underworld isn't done with them yet.

Thrown out by her parents, Rani pitches up at Christian's, to the bemusement of Esme. Are the young outlaws ready for their relationship to reach the next level? Finally free of his tag, Frank faces a familiar choice - fly the coop or stand still for once in his life. John has grand plans to modernise the family firm, but his father has emerged from retirement with his killer instinct intact.

Gabby finds the tap has been turned off by her father, and her real friends are in short supply. Greg might be the only person in the world she can rely on, and Gabby might be the only person who can help him win the heart of a workplace crush. Myrna finds she hasn't buried the bones of the past, even as the outlaws' shared past comes back to haunt them, in the shape of a terrifying London drug lord who is out for blood.
