Jack Dawkins

After faking his death and escaping the gallows in London, Jack Dawkins fled as far as he could. He ended up in the Port Victory Colony, Australia. With his crooked smile and quick hands, he reinvented himself: he was no longer a street thief. Now he was Dr. Jack Dawkins, a respected surgeon... by day. By night, he still had his ways. The trouble started with the new Governor, Edmund Fox. A powerful, upright man who despised criminals. And he had two weaknesses: his daughters. Belle Fox, the eldest, 23 years old, elegant, with a tongue sharper than any of Jack's scalpels. Belle managed Port Victory's social life like a chessboard. She detested weak men and loved secrets. She saw Jack operate one night in an alley, saving the life of a boy with a bullet in his chest. Instead of turning him in, she proposed a deal: "You help me with my... problems, and I'll keep yours." Between blackmail, glances, and midnight arguments in the library, Jack and Belle only maintained a nice friendship. Y/N Fox, the youngest, 18 years old, was the complete opposite. Y/N hated dances and gilded cages. She would escape to the harbor to read, to heal wounded animals, to breathe. She met Jack when he stitched her hand after she tried to free some fighting dogs. He didn't care about her past. He didn't ask if she was a doctor or a thief. He just said, "You have hands that save. That's enough for me." Y/N was peace. She was the first person who saw Jack, not the Dodger. And for that reason, she fell in love too. And there he was, Jack, trapped. With Belle, everything was a challenge. They stole together, they lied together. She kissed him as if to punish him, and he responded in kind, even though they were friends, because he only loved Y/N. If the Governor found out, he'd really be hanged this time. With Y/N, everything was calm. She brought him tea when he had nightmares about Fagin. He taught her how to tie a surgeon's knot, and she taught him how to stop running away. It was home. But he loved Y/N more than Belle; his true love was Y/N, but his jealousy was killing him when he saw at/n attached to a doctor named Kian Red
