To stop a brutal mafia war, I'm forced to marry a man I left tied up in a hotel room seven years ago.

Griffin Quinlan, the new head of the Irish Mafia in Lower Manhattan, is as dangerous as he is gorgeous. Brutal and calculating, he’s the last person I ever expected to see again.

Seven years ago, one night of passion brought us together, but I walked away without looking back.

Or untying him.

Now, he’s my husband and wants revenge.

Our forced marriage is meant to seal the peace between the Irish and Greek mafia families—my brothers’ idea of a truce.

To Griffin, I’m nothing more than collateral, a pawn to control his enemies. But he has no idea I’m not the same woman he once spent all night with twisting and sweating in the sheets.

The spark between us still burns hotter than the sun, but this time, I won’t be so easily conquered. Even while he’s indulging my darkest fantasies.

For six months, I’ll give him my body, and nothing more.

But with every touch, every blistering kiss to fool our enemies, I can’t deny I’m falling for him.

I thought I could see trouble coming from a mile away, but I never thought an enemy from my past would show up and destroy everything.

Or that Griffin would fight to keep me, no matter what it takes.

Brutal Collateral is Book 1 in the brand-new Irish Mafia Series Quinlan Empire.
