Sanctuary by Aquila Thorne

Mia Andrews

As a part-time librarian, I cherish the peace of old books, trying to bury a past I’d rather forget. But that peacefulness shattered one morning with a violent struggle on my porch. I watched in horror as one man ended up dead. Panicked, I fled to the only sanctuary I knew: the newly appointed Captain of the Irish Mafia, I’m just terrified of what he will do when he finds out the truth about who I really am.

Connor O’Brien

I’m just the cook and housekeeper for the MacGallan’s. The guy who wore an apron and always has a spatula in hand, with a smile as warm as the bread I bake. The kind of person who is friendly, and loyal, like a Golden Retriever.

Now suddenly, I’m told I have to step up to become the captain of the clan? It feels like a bad dream. And if that isn’t enough pressure, there’s a ticking clock—six months for me to find a wife, or the family loses our beloved estate to a cousin no one can stand. I can’t let that happen. There’s only one woman who I’ve talked to in the last year. The woman I held in my arms on the dance floor at Declan and Wren’s wedding, her mousy sister, Mia. Now to convince her to marry me.
