mccarthy irish mob

DECLAN McCARTHY

I’ve made a name for myself on destruction and favor. It has served me well and kept the wolves at bay, the ones who howl at the edges of my world hoping for the smell of blood in the air. I won’t give them the satisfaction; I’ve worked too hard to be on top.

The only woman I care about is my sister, Saoirse. Every other woman is a momentary distraction in my bed. Until I meet Roisin. She comes into my life like a breeze rolling over the Irish countryside and I can’t deny how much I want her. I will make her mine, even though my gut is burning with the knowledge that something isn’t quite right.

It doesn’t take much to unravel her secrets, which Roisin would rather keep hidden in the darkness. When her lies and manipulations come crashing down around us, I have a choice to make. Will I become her savior? Or will her betrayal become our ruin?

ROISIN

I’ve always been the odd one out in my family and they’ve conditioned me to crave their acceptance and affection. It’s been the gold they’ve dangled in front of me but have never given freely. It’s toxic and I’m trapped in a cycle I know is going to break my heart and my soul.

When my family puts me in a position I’ve never wanted, I don’t see a way out of it. I go into the lion’s den, hoping my purpose stays in the shadows. Getting a job at Declan McCarthy’s pub is easy. Finding out about the secrets the McCarthy mob holds close? Not so much.

Everything changes when I come face to face with Declan. He wants me close and the way he studies me makes me hungry for his touch just as much as I fear him finding out the truth. When he uncovers the truth, it tests where my loyalty lies—with my family or the man I wasn’t supposed to fall for but can’t resist? Will he become my savior? Or will my betrayal become our ruin?

**18+. This story has dark themes and a morally gray hero. You’ll still find an insta-love story that is spicy and isn’t necessarily simple, but with darker themes, situations, rough spicy times, and depictions of violence (not between the MMC and MFC).  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of my McCarthy Irish Mob series and has ties to my Agosti Crime Family books but can be read as a standalone. Meet Declan McCarthy in Blossom in Shadows. This is the first book in my McCarthy Irish Mob stories.**

You’ve felt the power that the men of Dark Reign hold.  Now it’s time to fall under their rule again with new men who hold their world in their hands as they find the women who make them fall to their knees.

Power comes at a cost and these men have sacrificed their souls. They know violence, death, and how to walk in the gray, but that doesn’t mean they are without weakness. The women they love are their light and they would scorch the Earth to protect them. This December meet the men who rule their empires of crime and the women who stand by them while darkness reigns.

SAOIRSE McCARTHY

I ran as far away as I could, no longer able to be so close to the only man I’ve ever wanted while unable to have him. It wasn’t hard to convince my brother, Declan, to let me leave Boston for college. He’d do anything to keep me away from his world where violence and betrayal is around every corner. 

Declan’s world taught me that you never know who you can trust when you’re an Irish Mob princess. But my heart told me I could always trust Conor. He always kept me at arm’s length and that’s why I really needed to get away. I had put it off too long already.

Now the holidays are right around the corner and I’m going home. I’ll see Conor and prove to him I’m not the lovesick puppy who ran away months ago. I don’t need him or the unrequited love that is like glass shards shredding my heart. We’re forbidden and I’ve gotten the message. But what happens when everything changes, and he looks at me like I’m his ruin and his salvation?

CONOR O’BRIEN

Saoirse was always too innocent and pure for my world, one I’ll never escape, and that is why I had to let her go. I didn’t see a way for a woman to stand next to me because I’m used to using my fists and the rage inside of me before any words can be spoken. I came up in the ring and that’s how I met Declan, who gave me a home before he even knew I needed one.

Betraying Declan after he became more of a brother to me than my own blood, who I could never trust, isn’t an option. I stayed away from Saoirse, but I’ve kept an eye on her, even when she ran as far as she could. I’ve watched and I’ve waited, my heart bleeding out with every passing day.

Now she’s back and there’s only one thing I want for Christmas—her love to shine on me and her heart to accept me. Declan has made room at his side for his queen while vowing to protect her. Can I do the same for my princess? Am I strong enough to be worthy of her in Declan’s eyes? Saoirse is my sweet ruin and I welcome her destruction because she’s mine and without her I’m nothing.
