Safe and Sound by Katie Ashley

Ava

Four years ago, I thought I had escaped the dangerous allure of Dare Kavanaugh, a man with a gaze that could ignite flames. That night when he swooped in and saved me from danger on the dance floor at one of his co-owned clubs, it was supposed to be just a casual fling. Our passionate weekend left me breathless, but the revelation of his ties to the Irish mafia sent me running. I vowed never to see him again, but fate had other plans. Now, with an unhinged ex on my tail, and when restraining orders did nothing to stop him, I was forced to seek Dare’s help—the only person who could protect me. Seeing Dare again awakened my buried feelings. But even if I trusted him with my life, I feared unveiling the secret that I’d kept from him would fuel his hatred for me.

For four years, Ava’s memory lingered like a haunting melody. So when she showed up at my club asking for help, my first instinct was anger that she had kept her distance all this time. But hearing about her stalker ex, I knew I had to keep her safe, even if it meant separating my personal feelings. After unexpectedly dropping by her house, I discovered a revelation that shattered my world—our little rendezvous had left more than just sparks. To safeguard my newfound family, I had no choice but to marry Ava, binding her to the protection of the Irish mafia.

As alliances shift and enemies close in, will our forced union become the key to our salvation, or will it lead to our ultimate destruction?
