Cruel Empire (McTiernan #2)
A million ways to shatter…
Still reeling from the aftermath of Cassidy’s abduction, warlord Connor McTiernan has retreated to the family compound in Maine to give his wife time to heal. As the rift between them grows and the Italian threat looms closer, Connor makes a blood promise save the woman who owns his heart—even if it costs him his life.
Alfie Doyle has never taken life too seriously, but all that changed the day he met Emilia and fell head over heels for the quiet beauty with the razor-sharp tongue. There’s just one problem, though—Emilia is the adopted daughter of Lorenzo Moretti, head of the Moretti Crime Family and sworn enemy of the McTiernan Clan.
When a vicious series of murders lands on the Clan’s doorstep, loyalties are put to the test as Connor and Alfie find themselves caught in a dangerous tug-of-war between the families, wondering if they’ll ever find sanctuary, or if their star-crossed love stories will end with tragedy.
A McTiernan Clan Novella (McTiernan #1.5)
Star-crossed lovers on opposite sides of a mafia blood feud…
If my family ever learned the truth, it would mean his death.
My hands trembled as I touched them to my lips. The kiss had been a sweet kind of danger, a roguish wink of sea glass eyes beneath that unruly mop of hair. Alfie Doyle looked like he was in the business of breaking hearts, not heads. Certainly not causing turf wars. But my father wouldn’t differentiate.
Alfie was the enemy. A McTiernan by affiliation, if not by blood. And I was a Moretti by fate, with a duty to my family. There was only one thing I could do.
I would keep him a secret.
My Irishman who courted me with black roses.

‘Til death do us part…
Once the daughter of Boston’s most infamous Irish mobster, Cassidy Quinn thought she had escaped her father’s violent world. But after witnessing a botched mob hit, Cassidy must turn back to the family she left behind, entering into a marriage of protection with the McTiernan Clan’s cold-blooded warlord.
Faced with the threat of deportation, Connor McTiernan finds himself thrust into a marriage he doesn’t want, with a woman who hates everything he stands for. Their marriage is supposed to be a business transaction; something that suits Connor’s frozen heart just fine until he realizes that against all odds and his best intentions…he’s fallen in love with his wife.
When a mole in the Clan places Cassidy in the line of fire, Connor will risk everything to protect her, even if it means cementing her hatred of him. Boundaries are pushed. Lines are crossed. And Cassidy soon discovers that life isn’t as black-and-white as she thought it was—and for her, there is no going back.

This is for me how a mafia romance should be! Full of twist and turn, some dark moment, some light moment and some sexy moments…The writing style was so good and I was hooked from the first page because of it!
