Monster. Criminal. Terrifying.

Many come to mind, but only one word can illustrate the constant terror associated with the man of my nightmares.

Cillian.

My testimony put the Irish gangster behind bars—that was—until my ambitious father negotiated my hand in marriage for a sliver of the Irish organized crime scene.

We shouldn't even be able to marry, but the laws have changed. Meaning a pure blooded Irishman can marry a Black girl like me.

That's not even my biggest problem. He doesn't know I'm the one who sealed his fate all those years ago. So I don't know what I should be afraid of more, the thought of him wanting to end me when he learns the truth, or...

Me discovering that there's more to this impulsive mobster than meets the eye.

Cillian is book one of the Sullivan Scoundrels, an alternative history/historical romance. If historical accuracy is important to you, this read you might want to skip. But if you like over-the-top, morally grey, dangerous heroes who will do anything for the women they love, you might just like what you see.
