I've spent a lifetime avoiding the various factions of the mafia in NYC, yet somehow I'm in it up to my eyeballs.I should be scared.I should want to run.Yet the city quivers in fear with every designer-clad footstep I take, because the Valentinis have ascended, and I'm the Don's Lady.It's intoxicating.However Luciu comes with vendettas and a craving for vengeance that could get him killed.With my allegiance tied to the Irish, can I say yes when he wants me to take an oath to the Sicilians?Is a happily-ever-after on the cards when the 'after' isn't even promised?

Blood stains my hands, my soul, my heart, yet I'll shed more to keep her safe.A chance meeting brings Jen MacNeill into my life-the woman born to reign at my side.She just doesn't know it yet.How could my Lady be anything other than a silken promise taunting me with every breath she takes?A new Don reigns over Manhattan.But though I won the war, peace isn't easily brokered.Over a decade of avenging my father's death, I made many enemies.To each and every one, Jen's a target.But I'll paint NYC red before I let them harm her.I just never imagined I'd be in the line of fire first...A heart broken by grief can feel no guilt or shame with the brutality in which vengeance is delivered.

STORMI hate myself more than she could ever hate me.The day I betrayed the love of my life was the day I lived up to every messed-up thing my mother predicted.But I'm tired of being broken.I'm tired of life not being worth living.I never thought I'd get a chance to make amends, but here I am, ready to earn my woman's love back.My road to recovery is ugly, and my road to redemption will be hard, but there is no Storm without his Keira.And it's time I prove that to her.

The second our eyes meet, I feel it.The ticking clock.It's only a matter of time before we come together.Before the heat that arcs between us turns into a conflagration. But he's a mobster. An O'Donnelly. His notoriety is legendary.I'm a journalist. I expose men like him, which is how I built my reputation.Manipulating the truth is how the Five Points forged their name. It's why he's one of NYC's most eligible bachelors, after all.Whereas for me, the truth is my calling.My purpose. With my life on the line, will I risk it all once more to find safety in the arms of a filthy hot O'Donnelly?

AmaraTo the rest of the world, I'm broken.Unfixable.But when he looks at me, I know what he sees.A woman, not a doll.A fighter, not a victim.A survivor.Maybe, he sees underneath that.Maybe, just maybe, he sees what I was always born to be-a predator.They took my innocence from me. They stole my adolescence.Now I'm going to reap upon them what they sowed in me.Vengeance.This woman hasn't just been scorned... but the hell I'll rain down upon them will look like child's play.He's a Sinner, by nature and by vow, but will he take this journey into the depths of depravity with me?Will his brothers?Stick around for the ride-we'll find out if he's man enough for the job.

He's the last man I should turn to.A forbidden taboo that no woman wanted to cross.Worse still, he's no one's idea of a white knight.But this pawn has no alternative.I'm locked in a war that's not of my making, and I'm tied to a destiny I have no say in.For someone like me, Brennan O'Donnelly represents something intangible-safety.A single promise unlocks options I didn't dare dream of possessing...A future.A family.He's hard. He's dangerous. He's filthy.Yet, somehow, he's exactly what I crave.Now I just need to make him see me for what I am-his Queen.If he'll have me...This is Brennan O'Donnelly's story...

She captivates me the second I lay eyes on her.Everything about her is pure, delicate beauty, and in my world, those things are commodities.Even Aoife can be bought and sold. Even Aoife has secrets that will see her getting into bed with the Irish Mob to protect.The truth won't set her free, it will entangle her deeper in my web.Exactly where I want her.One taste was all it took.She's mine.Whether she likes it or not...This is Finn O'Grady's story.

DeclanAs a made man, obligations are my middle name.As a Five Pointer? Those obligations are even more complicated.I fell for her when I belonged to another.Another I didn't love.Another I loathed.Who trapped me in a vise, and blackmailed me into being hers.I was born a filthy fecker, dragged kicking and screaming into a cold, hard world. My son isn't like me. He isn't filthy.I don't want to pollute him, but I will.Because I'm a b*stard.Born filthy.I don't want that for Seamus.I want to step up. Be the father he deserves. And Aela? I want her just as much as I want to be a part of his life.Of course, she's nothing like I imagined. When I first wanted to wife her, she was young. Pliable. Now? She won't take what I want to give her.She wants it all.Every part of me.But my heart died a long time ago. If anyone can resuscitate it, it's her, but first, I need to become a better man.And that might be the one thing I can't do.

In my world, women are property. Made to be owned. Born for one reason-to be tied to a powerful man, to bear the next generation.That reason is why I don't want to be married. But women aren't the only ones with zero say in their lives... And my bride?Bratva scum.Only Inessa isn't scum.Inessa is...Perfect.Except for one thing.Someone has touched my property, and for a Five Points' man, that means someone is going to pay.With their lives.They say I'm filthy rich, but what they don't know is that I'm just plain filthy, and Inessa? She's about to learn what it means to be married to a filthy fecker.We kill to protect our women.We reap nightmares on those who harm them.And me?I'm the biggest nightmare of them all.

GIULIA He's dark.Dirty.Dangerous.A brother in my dad's MC.Everything Mom told me to avoid.Everything I shouldn't want.But his dark, his dirty, and his dangerous are like catnip to me.He stirs fear into the hearts of men, but I hear his rage. I feel it like it's my own.He's a killer. Shameless. Some might even call him a psycho.I just call him soul mate.We were born to raise hell together, born to make sick b*stards pay for their sins, born to be the king and queen of darkness...Now, the king just needs to get that memo. NYX is the first book in the eleven-book 'A Dark & Dirty Sinners' MC' series.
