I was born into the ruling Irish mafia family in Boston. A Killaney by blood. A target by default.
As the only daughter in a dynasty of powerful men, I’ve spent my entire life proving I don’t need protecting.
Not from my brothers.
Not from their enemies.
Not from anyone.
So when the black feathers start appearing, warnings from a secret order hunting my family, I expect to fight my way through it.
What I’m not ready for is him.
Octavian Voinea.
My new bodyguard.
A 6 foot 6 tattooed Romanian ex–special forces soldier hired by my brothers to keep a close eye on me.
He’s supposed to guard me.
Watch me.
But he doesn’t follow rules. He rewrites them.
He watches me like he’s already claimed me.
Touches me like he owns the right.
Breaks through every wall I’ve built and makes me burn just by breathing my name.
I should push him away.
I should stay in control.
But the more danger rises, the clearer it
The protecting I swore I didn’t want, is becoming the only thing I can't survive without.
Killaney Fire is Book 2 of The Killaney Irish Mafia Series. Can be read as a standalone, but the full experience starts with Book 1. Guaranteed HEA.

Welcome, dark romance lovers. I'm Gabriella Blackrose, and I write steamy, high-stakes mafia romances set in an interconnected world. My books are filled with morally gray men who would burn down a city for the woman they love and the fierce, complicated heroines who challenge them at every turn.
If you crave obsession, forbidden tension, touch-her-and-die protectiveness, and slow-burn danger that explodes into heat, you're in the right place.
Fair warning: these stories might ruin you for nice fictional boyfriends forever, but honestly, isn't that half the fun? 😂
When I'm not writing, I'm chatting with readers, untangling new betrayals, and expanding the world where my mafia families rise.
While I completely understand that this series is interconnected and the overall story furthers with each book it is still frustrating not to have closure. It is also frustrating that we do not get a future glimpse of the MCs future HEA
