Princess needs a firm hand. I’m the only man in the world that can keep Daley Halloran safe. She’s an Irish mob princess with a big, red target on her back, and I’m her new bodyguard. Except she hates my guts and blames me for the car accident that took her best friend’s life eight years ago. We used to be close. I kissed her for the first time on the night that ruined everything, and I haven’t forgotten the taste of those lips in all these bitter years. Now we’re grown up and Daley’s unlocking my closed-off heart. I need another taste, and I won’t stop until I have all of her and more. No matter how much she despises me, I’ll keep Daley safe, and I’ll make her see the truth. She’s mine now, and she’ll need to get past her hatred and embrace this newfound lust if she’s going to survive the war that’s coming. Brutal Kiss is a standalone dark mafia friends-to-lovers romance. If you're looking for a steamy, suspenseful story with a possessive hero, twists and turns, no cheating, and a solid happily-ever-after, keep on reading! Enjoy!
