Fifteen years of spilled blood earned me my reputation: Dublin’s most ruthless enforcer.
One rule kept me alive—never show mercy, until she dared to cross my path.
Sweet little Isla O’Connor, barely twenty-two, with innocent eyes and a thief’s heart.
Her father’s debt demands an O’Rourke brother between her thighs.
They gave her to me—the most dangerous choice they could have made.
She fights me like a hellcat, but those whimpers in the dark tell a different story.
Each night she surrenders, every mark on her skin screams my ownership.
Then she vanishes on our wedding day, carrying a secret that will shake two empires.
They took my queen, not knowing she bears the heir to Ireland’s darkest throne.
Dublin’s underworld will drown in blood before I let them sell what’s mine.
The princess they stole will return as my queen.
And this time, I’ll make sure she wears my chains with pleasure.
