Seth Richards 24, twink, professional sleuth… Okay, semi-professional helping out a friend. “It’s perfectly safe! Sit in a bar, have a few beers, report anything suspicious.” Simple enough, right? Then why the heck am I sitting here tied to a chair, about to have my face beaten in by some scary-looking Irish dude? Also, why am I surprisingly attracted to his boss? That’s probably something I should unpack with my therapist at some point… Mickey O’Brien 31, Irish, professional thug… oh ya, and I’m next in line to take over the O’Brien crime syndicate once my old man kicks the bucket. There’s something about him. His vulnerability, his fear, the way he puts on a brave face even though he’s secretly terrified. Watching him verbally tear into a thug double his size has me impressed. I want to hold him, protect him, and claim him as my own. But how can I? When you’re next in line to lead a criminal organization there are certain… expectations. But for now, I have more important things to worry about, like who’s hunting down members of my crew?

Scott Everest 25, loudmouth, musical theatre performer… that is, if I could find work in a sea of LA models. I ran from LA to escape the bounty on my head. I figured hiding out in Jersey would be a smart move, that is until I made the mistake of hooking up with an Italian thug I met at a club. It was supposed to be a one-night stand, quick and easy. Now, I can’t escape the guy! He’s sarcastic, he’s smug, and he likes to get on my last nerve. Every time I see him, all I want to do is knock that annoying grin off his handsome face. So why is it that somehow, I always end up in bed with him instead? Dominic Rossi 27, Italian, professional money launderer… yeah, I’m the guy that moves the money and keeps us all from going to prison. From the moment I made the mistake of hooking up with him, I can’t seem to shake the guy. He’s everywhere! Not to mention he’s the rudest, most arrogant, self-absorbed, oblivious man I have ever had the pleasure of arguing with. So naturally, when someone tries to murder him, I end up protecting him instead. What can I say, I’m a sucker for people who need help. Now, if only I could find a way to stop falling for the man who drives me crazy. This is a MM thriller/romance, that should be read in the order of the series. Warning: This book contains scenes which may be considered triggering events for some involving extreme violence, murder, kidnapping, and torture.

Skyler (Sky) Teagan 28, damaged, burlesque dancer… that is when I’m not breaking into people’s houses or knocking them unconscious at dinner parties. I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m damaged. I have issues. I have a lot of pent-up anger and hostility, especially when it comes to bullies or guys who try and exert their dominance over me. Take this guy Patrick for instance. Yes, he may be a scary Irish thug with an eight-pack and muscles the size of my head, but I’m the expert gymnast who knocked him unconscious and left him tied naked to his bed. Patrick O'Maley 31, Irish, professional torturer… well, I prefer “Information Extractor”, sounds less brutish and medieval. Hey, it’s not my fault! When a child grows up knowing only pain and betrayal, can you really blame him when he grows up to become a monster? I like pain. I’m good at making people scream. Those unlucky enough to join me in my playroom, quickly discover that there are only two ways their visit will end; one with the loss of blood and broken bones, the other with the loss of their life. But when a secret I’ve kept hidden all these years, brings me to the City of Sin, I can’t help but face my greatest challenge; a feisty little burlesque dancer wearing a sexy mesh top and tight leather pants. Oh, don’t be fooled. Under that silky smooth skin and gorgeous blue eyes, lives a dangerous and vengeful predator. One just as damaged as me, and just as sexy. This is a MM thriller/dark romance filled with plenty of heat, steam, violence, and mayhem.

Des (The Destroyer) 29, strong-willed, on the run from a gangster who wants me dead. Oh yeah, and I’m secretly in love with my best friend. Love. What a pain. Why is it that some people are blessed with all the good looks and charisma, while the rest of us mere mortals must work hard to even be noticed? Take my best friend Cillian, for example. The guy is a walking wet dream and has a personality that can charm the pants off a cobra. Is it any wonder I’ve secretly had feelings for the guy since we were kids? What can I say? He’s always been there for me. My guardian, my protector… and the one place I’ve always felt safe. That’s what I need right now. A place where I can hide and figure out what to do about the man who wants me dead. Cillian Fitzpatrick 29, Irish, professional barback… well, as professional as you can get. It’s not like you need a certificate or anything. Oh yeah, and apparently, I’m a so-called manwhore . All right, I get it. I’m a good-looking guy, and I enjoy the company of women… lots of women. Okay, perhaps a few too many women. But it’s just because I haven’t found the right one – that special someone you can’t bear to be without. You know, that one person you would battle a thousand demons to protect. Kind of like the way I feel about my best friend, Des. He and I have been through a lot together. There are no lengths I wouldn’t go to keep my buddy safe. So naturally, when I discover that some guy is trying to kill him, I take matters into my own hands… with the help of my crew, of course. This is a MM thriller/dark romance filled with plenty of heat, steam, violence, and mayhem.

Rian Lassalle 42, Muscle Daddy, enjoys putting Brody in his place and showing him who the real alpha dog is on this crew. Running from your past can be painful. I moved to Jersey, hoping to find some peace and perspective. Instead, all I found was an annoying man-child who thinks that he’s God’s gift to women. Seriously, the arrogance of this man is astounding. If he thinks he can continue to disrespect people while I’m around, the boy clearly doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. There’s a new Alpha in town, and I’m about to show Brody what I do to those who misbehave. Brody O’Connell 32, work for the O’Brien Crew and have my own auto shop. Oh, yeah, and I’m tough, muscular, and sexy as sin. Don’t hate me cus I’m hot, and my biceps are bigger than your head. I’m an Alpha. A top dog. Women want to lay with me, and guys want to be me. It’s a simple fact. Some of us have it, some of us… well, that’s not my issue to worry about. Everything was going great until my boss decided I needed a… partner? A boss? A glorified babysitter? I don’t exactly know what Rian’s role is supposed to be. All I know is that he thinks he’s the top dog. Just because his muscles are slightly bigger than mine, and he happens to be a head taller, he seems to think that I’m going to lay down on my back and let him take me… any way he wants… ordering me around. Come to think about it, why do I keep getting turned on whenever he gives me an order? Perhaps, I’ll keep that last bit of information to myself… This is an MM Dark Romance involving bad men doing bad things.Content Violence, alcohol abuse, foul language, and loads of steamy scenes.
