Safe, Promise by Nora Thomas

Rowan Byrne
When my parents died two years ago, leaving me to finish raising my five younger brothers, and run the Irish Crime Organization; I thought it’d take me down. It didn’t. At just twenty-seven I’m one of the most feared and ruthless men on the coast. With the help of my brothers, we make sure no one will ever get the jump on us again. Well, that was until Clara waltzed into my life. Broken, skittish, and holding the hand of a little boy with curly brown hair that makes him look more like a bear cub than a boy. He looked at me with those hazel eyes and that was all he wrote. One look at her and I knew I was in trouble. One conversation and she invaded my head. One taste and I was addicted. The problem with addictions? Once you’re addicted your life is no longer your own. Now I have to find a way to keep my word, the organization running, and everyone safe. I have to, I promised.
