In the shadowed streets of Boston's South End, two Irish crime families have survived for generations through carefully maintained violence.
The Callahans and the Malones do not negotiate. They endure each other. Until the fragile balance finally breaks.
When Aoife Malone is taken in the dead of night, the message is clear: the truce is over. War should follow. Bodies should fall. Blood should answer blood.
But Ronan Callahan has not taken her to start a war. He has taken her to stop one.
As the acting head of the Callahan organisation, Ronan is holding together a fractured empire built on loyalty, fear, and old rules that no longer hold. He believes Aoife is leverage, nothing more. A necessary risk to expose a betrayal that could destroy every Irish family along the eastern seaboard. She is supposed to be temporary. Controlled. Contained.
What he does not expect is her mind.
Aoife Malone is not a victim waiting to be saved. She is a forensic genealogist who spends her life uncovering buried truths, tracing bloodlines, and exposing what others try to erase. And inside Ronan's carefully controlled world, she finds something no one was meant to see. A truth that could collapse everything they have ever believed about loyalty, hate, and themselves.
The more Ronan tries to keep her close, the more she begins to unravel the history he was raised to protect. And the more Aoife learns, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is being held prisoner... or held back from something far worse.
But in a world built on blood and silence, truth is not safe.
And neither is desire.
DEVOURED is a dark, high-heat enemies to lovers Irish mafia romance filled with forbidden attraction, buried secrets, and a love that threatens to destroy everything it touches.
