“AJ informed me Quinn had been in deeper than everyone had expected. Emily found his Swiss bank account with an outrageous sum. How she found it, I don’t know and, like AJ, I didn’t ask.”

“What the fuck?” Justin asked.

“He was a puppet master blackmailing a good bit of parliament and high levels in thegardafor favors.” When Justin nodded, he continued, “He all but ran Donnelly—his boss—who easily gave Quinn up. He had millions squirreled away.”

Justin whistled. “I never expected that. No wonder he wanted to know what Moira heard. It would’ve jeopardized everything if she’d known something incriminating. I’m glad we handed off the tape.”

“Ireland wants Quinn, and since the US only had him on kidnapping charges, they plan to send him back across the pond.” With more ministers coming forward about the blackmailing, Danny doubted Quinn would fare well in court.

“You need to go see Mom,” Justin said.

“Moira and I are planning to do it next month.

“Oh, so she’s staying?”

Danny grinned. “She is.”

Justin chuckled. “Good for you. She’s definitely a keeper.”

“That she is.” In the week since it’d all gone wrong, he and Moira had been nearly inseparable. Except for when he worked, and, like now, when she painted. She planned to become independent again with her art and save the money from her parents for the future.

Soon, she’d be down. Declan and Diana were stopping by to say goodbye. Moira was torn about their leaving and about the situation they had all endured.

“Speak of the devil,” Justin said, standing.

Danny stood and turned to view the staircase. With her hair in that messy bun thing, wearing strappy sandals, yellow capris, and a floral-print shirt, Moira was a vision. His heart did a little flip every time he saw her.

She came right to him and pressed her lips to his. It was a brief, modest kiss, but it still sent heat to hiscoileach. Yeah, he’d learned a few Irish words from her. He’d had to ask when she’d called his dick that.

Their sex life had become very inventive, and he loved every minute of the love and joy she brought into his life. He looked forward to the future they’d been planning, which included a large family.
