Nashville, 1934.
Lily Fontana clawed her way out of the taxi dance halls and into Vanderbilt’s medical program, trading glitter for scalpels and smoke-filled nights for a clean white coat. But the past has long fingers, and it isn’t done with her yet.
When a desperate rancher shows up at her clinic begging for help to find his runaway sister, Lily can’t look away. Marshall Landry knows cattle and wide-open skies—but nothing about the seedy underworld his sister slipped into. With their father dying, he needs Lily’s streetwise grit to guide him through Nashville’s shadows.
From train yards to backroom bars, every step drags Lily closer to memories she swore she’d buried. Each hall is heavy with sweat and sorrow. Each dead end cuts deeper. Until they find Norah.
But she’s already gone.
And Lily has to decide—once and for all—whether she’ll let another girl be lost to the darkness… or whether she’ll strike back.
Dark, raw, and unflinching, On the Dime is a tale of trauma, survival, and the quiet fury of a woman who refuses to be silenced.
