Smoke and Honey

He's the most dangerous man in New York... and now he's the only one who can keep me alive.

I came to New York to disappear.
To forget, the man who broke me, owned me, nearly destroyed me.
A tiny apartment above a rowdy Irish pub and a quiet café job were supposed to be my salvation.

Then Kieron Doyle walked into my life-
all sharp suits, rough knuckles, and a voice that could make a good girl sin.
He runs the Doyle Syndicate, the most feared gang in the city.
The kind of man you don't look at twice unless you want trouble.

Trouble found me anyway.

Now, rival gangs think I'm leverage.
My violent ex is sniffing out my trail.
And Kieron?
He's decided I'm under his protection... whether I like it or not.

He's demanding. Dangerous. Infuriatingly magnetic.
Every time we trade insults, the tension simmers hotter.
Every time he steps closer, my pulse betrays me.
And every time he touches me, I forget I ever wanted to run.

But men like Kieron don't save girls like me.
They claim them.
Possess them.
Ruin them completely.

And God help me...
I think I'm ready to let him.
