Sins of Innocence by Lucy Monroe

Internationally Bestselling author Lucy Monroe turns up the heat in her spicy mafia world with a forced marriage, a widow with everything to lose, and an Irish mobster who steps out of the shadows and into her bed.

In their world, protection comes with a price. And his price is forever.

ÁINE

Marrying a stranger to stay alive was not in my plans. Neither was falling for him.

I’m a widow with three daughters, a mother to protect, and a dead husband whose betrayal put a target on all of us. When a scary but too darn sexy Irish mobster offers his protection, there’s only one condition.

I have to marry him.

If the choice is between the safety of my family and my freedom…there isn’t one.

Kieran offs people without hesitation and doesn’t feel an ounce of guilt for forcing me into marriage. He also makes me and my girls feel safer than we ever have. And the way he makes my body react ought to be illegal, but it’s not my ovaries he wants in handcuffs.

WRAITH

I’ve spent my life alone and in the shadows. Going from covert ops for the military and CIA to freelance assassinations, I eventually ran afoul of the Irish mob and instead of killing me, they recruited me.

From the moment I meet Áine Gallagher, I want to protect her. With curves that walked right out of my darkest fantasies, she’s brave and mouthy and more than a little dramatic with her emojis.

When I learn a traitor has put her in the mob’s crosshairs, no way am I going to let anyone hurt her or her girls. That means marriage, whether she wants it, or not.

And now, every inch of her is mine. Mine to protect, mine to keep, mine to ruin for every other man who ever thought he had a chance.

This is a standalone mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA.
