A NEW steamy standalone dark Irish mafia romance with a neurodivergent hero and a wrongly convicted heroine. Two hackers. One obsession.
I went to prison for a crime I didn't commit.
Fourteen months behind bars because I trusted the wrong man. When I got out, I swore I'd never be that stupid again.
I became a ghost. The best hacker in the city. Untraceable. Untouchable. Invisible.
Until I broke into the wrong network and discovered someone had already been inside mine.
His name is Wolfe Molloy. He’s the tech genius behind Boston's most powerful Irish crime family. Quiet. Intense. Brutally intelligent. The kind of man who eats cereal for dinner, forgets to sleep, and can dismantle a firewall faster than I can build one.
He's been watching me for two years.
I should be terrified. I should run. But the man who knows my real name, my aliases, my conviction, and every move I've made since I walked out of that prison? He doesn't look at me like I'm a target.
He looks at me like I'm the only thing his mind can't solve.
There's just one problem.
The monster I expected isn't the man in front of me. He's awkward where he should be smooth. Honest where he should be calculating. He touches me like I'm something precious instead of broken. He stands between me and every threat like his body is a wall he built just for me.
When someone threatens my brother, his voice goes flat and his eyes go dead and the words that come out of his mouth aren't a warning. They're a sentencing.
Who did this to you isn't a question with Wolfe. It's a death sentence.
And when his hands find me in the dark, I stop thinking about running.
I start thinking about surrender.
But Wolfe is hiding something…a secret about my past that could set me free or destroy every reason I have to trust him. And when the truth comes out, I'll have to decide if the man who buried my freedom is the same man who'd bleed to give it back.
Because in this world, love isn't just dangerous. It's the one thing neither of us knows how to survive.
