One marriage of convenience. One Irish enforcer. One betrayal that changes everything.
Seamus Murphy is everything I was raised to destroy.
Irish. Brutal. Unshakable.
He killed my cousin. Stole my future.
And now? He’s the man I’m being forced to marry.
It started with a heist.
One second I was stealing back my family’s crest—
The next, I was face-first in the dirt, pinned beneath a man who should’ve put a bullet in my skull.
But Seamus didn’t kill me.
He watched. He followed. He touched.
Now I’m his wife in name only—
A pawn in a twisted truce I never agreed to.
He wants answers. I want vengeance.
And neither of us can stop pushing the other to the edge.
I swear I hate him.
I bite. I run. I lie.
And every time, he finds me.
Every time, he pulls me back in.
He kisses like he’s claiming me.
Fights like he owns me.
And touches like he knows I’ll eventually beg for more.
But if I fall for him…
If I let my heart slip even an inch…
He won’t just ruin me.
He’ll own what’s left.
