He was hired to destroy her family. She was fighting to save it. Neither expected to fall.
Maeve O'Rourke inherited an empire built on secrets, blood, and her father's dying wish: make us clean. Going legitimate means dismantling everything the O'Rourke family built over three generations. It also means making enemies—powerful ones.
Caspian Thorne is the weapon they send to finish her.
Ex-FBI. Sterling Industries' most ruthless operative. His mission is simple: acquire the O'Rourke waterfront properties by any means necessary. Destroy their operations. Eliminate the competition.
But Maeve isn't what he expected. Brilliant, fierce, and fighting to honor her father's legacy while her brothers push her toward war—she's everything Caspian thought he'd lost the ability to respect.
One conversation turns into an alliance. One alliance becomes a dangerous partnership. One kiss changes everything.
Now Caspian's caught between the billionaire who signs his checks and the woman who's reminded him why he became an agent in the first place: justice. And Maeve's caught between family loyalty and a man who sees past the empire to the person underneath.
When their enemies close in—federal investigations, rival gangs, family betrayals—they'll have to choose: the empires that define them or the love that could destroy them both.
Some legacies are built on blood. Others are built on sacrifice.
Can they build something worth fighting for before their worlds collide?
Concrete & Clover is a steamy, suspenseful Irish mafia romance featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, morally complex characters, and a fierce heroine choosing love over legacy. Perfect for fans of dangerous men, powerful women, and redemption arcs that burn.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
