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.
