The Inheritance Genome by Gail Daley
Betrayal, power struggles, and a dangerous attraction – Lady Patrice O’Teague and Detective Craig Lansing are caught in the middle of a three-way fight for leadership in the Port Recovery Thieves Guild. As they navigate the treacherous world of thieves and Clans, they can’t ignore the sparks flying between them. But when Lansing’s boss warns him against getting too close to anyone from Clan O’Teague, it becomes clear that there’s more at stake than just their hearts.
Set in the gritty streets of Vensoog, where the local Thieves Guild is plagued by power struggles and ruthless competition, this thrilling tale follows Patrice and Craig as they fight to survive in a world where trust is a dangerous luxury. As the local Thieves Guild struggles to fill its leadership position, VanDoyle and Grouter compete against Tovaris and Sirrah for the coveted spot. Grouter, determined to take out his rival, devises a sinister plan that involves sacrificing innocent children – including some of his own ‘special’ creations to ensure the Clans take out his rival.
Meanwhile, VanDoyle has his own plans to make Vensoog a stronghold for the Thieves Guild and overthrow the Clans in power. But his tactics involve stirring up rebellion among the unaffiliated groups on Vensoog, putting even more lives at risk.
Meanwhile, Lady Ispone, Lady Katherine, and Lord Zack’s daughters, Juliette, Lucinda and Azalure, uncover Grouter’s twisted scheme and must fight to rescue their young daughters from his clutches. But with VanDoyle’s plan to overthrow the Clans and solidify the Thieves Guild’s hold on Vensoog, the stakes are higher than ever before.

Author Bio:
A writer of Fantasy and Science Fiction stories, Gail has received high praise for her beautifully interlaced, imaginative worlds. She populates her universes with vital and interesting characters, skillfully intertwining their everyday lives with world changing events.
An omnivorous reader, she was inspired by her son, also a writer, to finish some of the incomplete novels she had begun over the years. She is heavily involved in local art groups and fills her time reading, writing, painting in acrylics, and spending time with her husband of 50 plus years.
Gail has a background in business and used this expertise to develop a series of pamphlets (lumped together under the title “The Modern Artist’s Handbook) advising artists and authors about how to improve their bottom line by applying business practices to the development and sale of their work.
Currently her family is owned by two cats, a mischievous young cat called Mab (after the fairy queen of air and darkness) and a mellow Gray Princess named Moonstone. In the past, the family shared their home with many dogs, cats, and a Guinea Pig, all of whom have passed over the rainbow bridge. A recent major surgery on her stomach, a bout with breast cancer, and arthritis in her hands have slowed her down a little, but she continues to write and paint.
