Cian by Ann Silver

Sometimes… enough wrongs can make it right.

For nearly thirty years, Caitlin O’Malley has lived by rules she never chose. The daughter of a feared Irish mob boss, the sister of Boston’s kingpin, and the wife of a man she never loved. One reckless night was meant to be her only act of rebellion. Instead, it bound her forever to the one man she was never allowed to want.
Cian McCarthy has spent a lifetime watching the woman he loves from the shadows. Loyal soldier. Trusted strategist. Silent protector. He walked away once and paid for it every day after. Now secrets long buried are clawing their way to the surface, and the truth could tear their world apart.
When a hidden past resurfaces—marked by betrayal, violence, and a daughter he was never meant to claim—the fragile balance that holds the family together begins to crack. As enemies close in and loyalties are tested, Caitlin and Cian must decide whether love is worth the cost… or if some sins can never be forgiven.
In a world ruled by blood, power, and silence, choosing each other could mean losing everything.
But walking away might destroy them both.
