I don’t want a wife. I don’t want a prisoner. But she just became both… Seven years ago, Hadleigh Castille fell into my bed and never left my heart. Then she disappeared and my hunger for vengeance was born. My body wasn’t the same after that night. She left for war, but I lived a daily life of blood and violence for the Irish Mob. Now, I’ve risen to power in my own right, but to keep my crown I must align with the enemy. When he presents his sister to me as a bride, my heart takes a tumble. The woman I knew, the siren I never got over isn’t Hadleigh Castille, Navy Lieutenant. She’s the missing Greek Princess, Ava Zervas. Only, she’s not a princess at all. She’s tough, brash, mouthy, and hates me more than her brother at the moment. She’s my weakness, but I’m her downfall. She thinks I’ll let her go in six months. She doesn’t know the meaning of obsession and desire. Until now. Brutal Collateral is Book 1 in the Brand-New Irish Mafia Series: Quinlan Empire.
