Cruel Mercy: An Enemies to Lovers Dark Mafia Romance

Saoirse Doyle doesn't exist anymore. In her place is Saoirse Byrne - bartender, nobody, a woman who learned the hard way that loving a dangerous man means learning to live with what his hands do in the dark. She built a quiet life out of a fake last name and a locked-down heart. It was working. Until Ronan Cassidy started ordering the same whiskey every Wednesday night and looking at her like he already knew every lie she was telling.

He does. He's known for weeks. Her father put two bullets in his brother's chest and left him bleeding on a dock - and Ronan has spent eighteen months building a plan to make Cormac Doyle pay for it. His daughter is the only leverage he has left.

He should use her. Instead, he can't stop wanting her.

Ronan Cassidy is precise, controlled, and terrifyingly calm - until Saoirse is in the room, and then he isn't. He moves her into his house to keep her safe from a war she didn't start, and every day it gets harder to remember she was ever supposed to be a weapon instead of the only thing he refuses to lose. When the truth comes out, when the cruelty and the tenderness collide, and when her father finally comes looking for what's his - they'll both have to decide exactly how much mercy either of them has left to give.

A dark, forced-proximity mafia romance with a heroine who never stops fighting back and a hero who has to learn that love and control aren't the same thing. Enemies to lovers. Forbidden. Possessive. Cruel Mercy is Book One of The Kilbrennan Ties - for readers who like their romance dark, their heroes icy, and their heroines with a mouth on them.
