He's the most powerful man in Dublin, and he'll do anything to keep what's his.

Madelaine Moneta is a survivor. She fought her way up from the streets of Chicago to claim a spot at one of the top-tier criminal defense practices in the city. When the looming shadow of the local mob threatens to engulf the firm, Madelaine makes a life-altering decision.

Carrying her mother's ashes, she escapes to Ireland, intent on starting anew in her mother's homeland.

Dublin seems the perfect place to reinvent herself until Tag Quinn—a dark and dangerous charmer at the local pub—sets his sights on her.

Tag Quinn is trouble. As leader of the Quinn family, he is the Irish Mafia.

He is a man who takes what he wants, and what he wants is her. Torn between her desire for freedom and the seductive pull of a man who claims her soul, Madelaine is thrust once again into the throes of the criminal underworld she sought to leave behind.

Sean Quinn is the most feared man in Dublin, and his reputation is hard-earned.

As the second born to the Quinn family, while my older brother, Tag, navigates the politics of running of our territory, I run our army.

The Dublin Devils is the Quinn motorcycle club, and we are a powerful force.

Roaring through the Dublin streets, I command both fear and respect from everyone north of the River Liffey—and from much of the McGuire territory to the south of the river as well.

Not that Quinns go south of the river.

The territorial lines between our two rival families were set in place by Da years ago, and even after his death, we honor the agreement.

The McGuires honor nothing.

So, when Pyper McGuire, daughter of our enemy, shows up on our side of the river, bloody and beaten, there's only one logical answer—send her back.

With tensions already high between our two families, she's everything we don't want or need.

And yet, despite hating myself for it—I do want her.

And even knowing it can never work—I do need her.

But there's another problem…she's betrothed to another.
