He's Dublin's most feared enforcer. I'm payment for my father's sins.

Fifteen years of blood earned Cian Byrne his deadly reputation. One rule kept him alive-never show mercy. Until sweet little Isla O'Connor crosses his path.

I'm barely twenty-two. Innocent. Terrified.

My father's gambling debt puts me in the hands of Ireland's most dangerous crime family. They give me to their most ruthless man-a choice that will destroy us both or make us unstoppable.

He calls me princess. I call him my captor.

Cian fights me like I'm his enemy. But in the dark, when he thinks I'm sleeping, his touch tells a different story. Every heated glance, every whispered threat, every moment he stops himself from taking what he wants-it's driving us both mad.

I should hate him. I should run.

Instead, I'm falling for the monster who owns me.

Then everything changes.

Our wedding becomes a bloodbath. Rival families want us dead. And I discover I'm carrying the heir to Dublin's darkest throne.

When they take me on our wedding day, Cian tears the city apart looking for me. But I'm not the same innocent girl anymore. I've learned his world. I've tasted power.

And I'll burn down anyone who threatens our family.

Two broken souls. One savage love. An empire built on blood and devotion.

They think a dock worker's daughter can't survive in their world of violence and betrayal. They're about to learn what happens when you underestimate a woman with nothing left to lose.

Dublin's underworld will never be the same.
