Brian

by Maura Rose

BRIAN Life in Dublin isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, I have steady work tending bar in the family pub, but I’m tired of feeling stuck. The dreariness of day-to-day existence, the monotony… it’s getting to me. So when my brother mentions a job opportunity with the Irish mob in the U.S., I’m more than happy to hop on a plane and start a new life—a life with promise, a life with opportunity. Especially after meeting her. Kathleen. Beautiful, sassy, whip-smart Kathleen. I can’t keep myself away from her, and I take every chance I get to meet with her… to breathe her in, to touch her, to taste her… There’s just one Kathleen doesn’t know I’m in the Irish mafia, and I don’t know how to tell her. What’s worse—I don’t know if she’ll want anything to do with me once she finds out. KATHLEEN I’m the heir to an Irish mafia family, but I want more than what this life has to offer. Especially since ‘this life’ involves living under my mother’s tyrannical thumb. I can hardly stand to be in the same room with her, and it seems like the feeling is mutual. I do whatever I can to get away, whenever I can—but it’s not enough. Then I meet Brian—gorgeous, charming Brian, with his warm eyes and Irish brogue. He’s a diamond in the rough, a silver lining in my cloudy life, a passionate lover with a generous heart. I feel terrible lying to him about what my family business really is, but what else can I do? I want to escape, to run away with Brian and never look back, but that’s easier said than done when you’re a mob boss’s daughter. In this life, breaking away from your family comes at great cost—a cost that’s stained in blood and death. Brian is the third and final book in the trilogy of Irish mob romance novellas by Maura Rose. It is 20,000 words in length, can be read as a standalone and is safe, with NO cliffhangers, NO cheating and an HEA, as always. This book is action-packed and features steamy scenes that are beyond blush-worthy, so turn on the fan and settle in with your Kindle for a wild ride!

About the author

Maura Rose is a long-time lover of the written word with a penchant for cooking (and eating) copious quantities of Eastern European food. When she isn’t busy wrangling her two adorable children or spending time with her patient and eternally supportive husband, she can be found cruising the back country roads of the California county she calls home with the music cranked up to full blast and singing along at the top of her lungs. It is during these moments of solitude that she dreams up most of the plots of her spicy romance novels.
