When former U.S. Army Ranger Jack Collins is sent to Dublin on an undercover mission for Brotherhood Protectors International, he expects a routine operation to discover the source of internet propaganda linked to a dangerous black-market network stirring up hatred in Dublin. What he doesn’t expect is Emily O’Brien—a fiery Irish bartender with a quick wit and a family tangled in a dangerous past. Emily has fought hard to escape her family’s connection to the Irish Travelers, but when Jack walks into her pub with questions she can’t answer and enemies closing in, she realizes her quiet life is over. Together, they navigate a treacherous maze of deception, betrayal, and danger, where every ally might be a foe, and every step could be their last. As the stakes rise, so does their undeniable attraction. But with a deadly conspiracy closing in, they must trust each other long enough to survive—and uncover the truth before Dublin’s dark secrets destroys them both and threatens a quarter-century of tenuous peace. In this thrilling international action-adventure, love and survival hang in the balance in the heart of Dublin’s streets.
