In Silence by Courtney W. Dixon

Family is all that matters. Loyalty is everything. Obsession could destroy it all.

Cat spent her entire life cowering in submission against the monsters in her life. People she was supposed to trust. After a surprise pregnancy, she fled to the big city of Boston for a safe place to raise her child away from her abusive husband. But fate had other plans. After one of her blackouts, she woke up with a gun in her blood-stained hand and a dead body at her feet, taking the fall for a murder she didn’t commit. But a dark and dangerous man she briefly met on that fateful night saved her, or so she thought.
Ronan became the new leader of the Irish mob with the death of his father, a role he was groomed for since childhood. Seeking revenge for his father’s murder, a beautiful witness turned his world upside down. He shouldn’t have cared that she took the fall for him. Against his better judgment, he staged her escape to protect her from his enemies. But when she walked into his world, she became so much more than that.
