She’s learned to keep her head down, to hide the sharp edges of her mind behind grace and obedience. But when a deal meant to protect her family binds her to Cillian O’Rourke, she finds herself standing at the edge of a world she was never meant to touch — one of power, blood, and men who don’t know how to forgive. Cillian has built his life on control. Discipline keeps the chaos quiet, keeps the ghosts buried. But the moment Sera steps into his home, the walls he’s spent years constructing begin to crack. In a city divided by legacy and vengeance, theirs is a collision course disguised as a marriage. Trust is dangerous. Desire, even more so. And when past sins start bleeding into the present, both will have to decide which costs more — survival, or the small, devastating cure of love. Irish Mafia Arranged Marriage is an emotional Irish mafia romance about control, trust, and the dangerous kind of love that feels a lot like surrender. less
