ÁINE
Marrying a stranger to stay alive was not in my plans. Neither was falling for him.
I'm a widow with three daughters, a mother to protect, and a dead husband whose betrayal put a target on all of us. When Kieran, the Shaughnessy Mob's most feared enforcer, offers his protection, there's only one condition.
I have to marry him. Now.
When the choice is between the safety of my family and my freedom...there isn't one.
Kieran's a criminal whose friends call him Wraith. He offs people without hesitation and doesn't feel an ounce of guilt for forcing me into marriage. He also makes me and my girls feel safer than we ever have. And the way he makes my body react ought to be illegal, but it's not my ovaries he wants in handcuffs.
He says he doesn't do soft. He says he wants a family, not a love story. But nobody warned me that watching a dangerous man go to war for me and my girls would be the most seductive thing I'd ever seen.
What happens when I fall in love with the grumpy mobster despite my best intentions and his?
WRAITH
I've spent my life in the shadows. Covert ops. CIA black sites. Freelance assassinations. Mob enforcement. I don't need much.
Then I meet Áine Gallagher. And suddenly I want everything.
With curves that walked right out of my darkest fantasies, she's brave and mouthy and more than a little dramatic with her emojis. She's also a mother who would burn the world down for her girls.
And now, every inch of her is mine. Mine to protect, mine to keep, mine to ruin for every other man who ever thought he had a chance.
I'm not built for soft. But I'm built for her—every lush, tempting, infuriating inch.
This is a standalone mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA.
