A standalone enemies-to-lovers mafia romance where a sharp-tongued heroine meets her match - a possessive, obsessed hero hiding something dangerous beneath the most disarming smile in Boston.
I walked into Cillian Molloy's bar eight months ago to tell him I was falling for him...Until I found out out exactly what kind of man he was.
Cold. Calculating. Capable of leaving my bed and putting his hands on another woman in the same hour.
I swore I'd never let him near me again.
Then two men cornered me in the alley behind my art gallery, and the man I've spent eight months hating was the one who stepped out of the shadows to save my life.
Now I'm trapped in his orbit. His family is watching mine. His brother is married to my sister. And someone dangerous has set their sights on me for reasons no one will explain.
Cillian says he can protect me.
I'd rather take my chances alone.
There's just one problem.
The cocky, charming man everyone thinks they know isn't the one who shows up when we're alone. That version is intense. Possessive. Dangerously honest. He watches me like I'm the only person in the room and touches me like he's been starving for the eight months we've been apart.
And the closer I get, the more I realize that nothing around me is what it seems. Not the danger. Not the people I trust. And definitely not the man I can't stop wanting.
I see through his charm. I always have.
What terrifies me is what I see underneath.
Because Cillian Molloy didn't just break my heart. He made me doubt the one thing I've always trusted...myself. And letting him back in means risking the only thing more dangerous than his world.
The possibility that this time, he's real.
