The Witness He Stole
(2026)(The fourth book in the Dark Irish Mafia Romance series)
A novel by Neva Cole
He was sent to silence her. Instead, he carried her life out of danger.
Cliona Farrell has spent her life being the woman nobody notices. At a Philadelphia mafia wedding, one overheard conversation makes her the woman nobody can afford to let live.
Declan Mulqueen arrives at her door with a car, a loaded gun, and his father’s orders. The family’s youngest son has spent fifteen years driving where he is told and keeping his mouth shut. This should be another job.
Instead, he carries her harp down three flights of stairs.
Hidden together in a freezing house on the Jersey shore, Cliona discovers the tenderness beneath his scarred hands. He repairs the instrument that is her livelihood. Warms the fingers she needs to play. Listens as though every note matters.
But his father has given him twenty-one days. When the deadline comes, someone must answer for the woman still breathing.
Declan is prepared to pay with his life. Cliona refuses to let him choose that ending for her.
To survive, they must break the rules that made him—and decide what they will risk for a love neither of them was supposed to find.
Book Four of Neva Cole’s interconnected dark Irish mafia romance series. Read after His Treaty Bride and before The Undertaker’s Vow.
