He's undercover FBI with everything to lose. She's been hunting her brother's killer for three years. Together, they're about to ignite a war neither can survive.

Declan O'Rourke didn't expect to go undercover in Boston's deadliest Albanian crime family. He definitely didn't expect to meet Thessaly Quinn—the cold, brilliant accountant who sees through his lies in five seconds flat.

She's not who she claims either.

Three years. That's how long Thessaly's been living a lie, building a case against the man who killed her brother. She can't afford distractions. Can't afford feelings. And she definitely can't afford the dangerous, infuriating enforcer who won't stay out of her way.

But when their covers collide and bullets start flying, they have a choice: trust each other or die alone.

The chemistry between them is explosive. The danger is real. And the deeper they fall, the more they realize some lies cut closer than any knife.

He'll do anything to protect his family.

She'll destroy anyone who took hers.

Together, they might just burn down the entire criminal empire—or each other.

When the line between justice and revenge disappears, can two broken people find something worth fighting for beyond vengeance?

Thorns & Thistle is a high-stakes romantic suspense featuring morally gray characters, an Irish crime family, sizzling tension, and a romance forged in fire. Perfect for readers who like their love stories dangerous and their heroes complicated.
