Twelve men are marked for death. Áine Gallagher’s wedding is the price of keeping them alive.
She built her flower shop on one rule: the dead do not choose sides, and neither does she. Then the Mulqueens and the Kerrigans put their peace in her hands—and a ring on her finger.
Tomás Mulqueen controls the river. He breaks men with the same hands he uses to carry her flowers. He gives Áine her own keys, her own room, and every reason to believe she can survive this marriage without surrendering anything that matters.
She does not plan on wanting him.
Or on discovering that the most dangerous thing about her husband is how carefully he keeps his secrets.
His father wants her shop. The parish is watching their windows. And every kindness Tomás offers draws her closer to a man whose silence could cost her everything she has spent her life protecting.
Áine agreed to be their peace offering. She never agreed to disappear inside it.
Now the man who would break anyone for his wife must learn whether he can give her a choice.
Book Three of Neva Cole’s interconnected dark Irish mafia romance series. Read after The Bookmaker’s Claim and before The Witness He Stole.
