The Irish Boss
I saw him kill a man in a Brooklyn alley. Now I’m locked in his penthouse, and he won’t let me go. One wrong turn. One wrong alley. One glimpse of Cian O’Connor pulling a trigger… and my quiet life as a struggling painter was over. He should have put a bullet in my head. Instead, he brought me to his penthouse overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, locked the door, and told me I was staying. For my own safety, he said. Cian O’Connor is the head of Brooklyn’s most ruthless Irish crime family. Cold. Calculating. Merciless. He wears three-piece suits like armor and speaks so softly that grown men lean in just to hear the threat. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t laugh. He doesn’t feel. But he sits in the kitchen every night while I cook. He watches me paint like he’s trying to solve a puzzle he doesn’t have the pieces for. And when I tell him his penthouse feels like a mausoleum and his expensive whiskey tastes like gasoline, something cracks behind those cold eyes. No one talks to Cian O’Connor like that. No one dares. I do, because he already took everything. My freedom. My life. My ability to walk away. What he didn’t count on was me taking something back. Him. Then his enemies find out about me. And the man who locked me in a gilded cage? He burns Brooklyn to the ground to get me back. The Irish Boss is a scorching dark Irish mafia romance featuring a ruthless crime boss, a captive artist who sees through his armor, and a possessive love story that will leave you breathless. Dual POV. Standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after. No cliffhanger. Perfect for readers who love: • Ruthless Irish mob boss heroes • Captive romance with penthouse forced proximity • “Touch her and die” possessive alphas • Age gap with a morally gray hero • Enemies to lovers slow burn that combusts • Scorching spice with real emotional stakes • Brooklyn atmosphere dripping with rain, neon, and danger • A complete standalone HEA

The Enforcer
She stitches him up every time he walks through those ER doors. One night, she has to restart his heart. Ava Mercer works the overnight shift at Brooklyn General. She’s used to blood, broken bones, and men who won’t explain how they got that way. But the one who keeps showing up after midnight — always alone, always wrecked, always too calm for how badly he’s hurt — is different. She patches him up. He disappears. She tells herself to stop thinking about him. Then he flatlines on her gurney, and she refuses to stop compressions until he comes back. Rourke Gallagher is the enforcer for the New York Reapers hockey team… and for the Gallagher crime family that owns it. On the ice, he breaks bones. Off the ice, he collects debts. And the trauma nurse with the steady hands is the only gentle thing in his life. When Ava saves Rourke’s life? His enemies come for her. Now she’s under his roof, under his protection, and dangerously close to being under his skin. But Rourke has a rule: don’t touch what you can’t keep safe. And Ava has one of her own: don’t fall for the man whose body you keep stitching back together. But the one problem? Rules don’t survive Brooklyn winters… or the way he looks at her like she’s the only thing worth protecting. The Enforcer is a dark Irish mafia hockey romance with a possessive, morally gray hero, a fierce heroine who doesn’t break, scorching heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
