Ronan: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance

by Laura Holly

doesn’t raise his voice. He doesn’t need to.
He is the kind of man violence listens to.

As the O’Connell Bloodline’s enforcer, Ronan is the one sent in when mercy is no longer an option. Clean hands are a myth. Blood is currency. Loyalty is law. He carries both with brutal precision, never questioning the orders carved into his bones since childhood. Fear follows him into every room, earned and intentional.

But beneath the controlled rage and lethal restraint is a man bound by a promise he should never have made. One vow. One woman he is forbidden to touch. She is the line he refuses to cross and the temptation that threatens to destroy everything he has built. Ronan has survived the underworld by mastering discipline, but desire is chaos, and chaos has always been his greatest weakness.

He can break anyone who stands in his way.
The only thing that can break him is her.
