I can’t remember much from before the accident that killed my mother. I have these dreams that show me glimpses of that day. Those dreams and my little brother are all I have left.
My stepfather and his children have never treated me or Ciarán like we belong. We’re more like slaves they gained with the loss of my mom. When Theo’s son Sean goes too far, I risk it all and end up in New York for a chance at a new life.
The huge blond with the mesmerizing smile that tickles my brain is the last thing I expect or want to find when I get there but he’s determined to protect me like I’m his.
Dylan
At ten, when I made that promise, I planned to keep it. I didn’t know my family would move away and keep me from ever seeing her again. It’s been my goal to make my way back home for good.
Ireland is where I should be. If I’m there she’ll come back to me. The problem is, I’m not safe there on my own and my family refuses to allow me to return.
I’ve been training and fighting to make the money to go on my own. Logan and Brooklyn would kill me if they knew I’ve been in the underground rings for more than business. I go through a lot to keep my brothers off my back. Too bad Uncle Ronan and his right hand know me so well they know exactly how I move.
Then she walks back into my life and everything changes. I thought it was a dream the first time. Then she walked into my gym. Felix couldn’t find her for me, but fate brought her right where she belongs. This time I’m not letting her go and I’ll beat the shit out of anyone who says otherwise.
Can our secrets tear us apart? Will my family have my back when the truth is revealed? My cousin has become an African king, but I’ve always been a king of New York. Who will have the balls to test my reign?

PREFACE
Our Turn
Ronan
I sit with Danny standing between my legs as she blow-dries my hair while finger combing it. I have my hands on her waist as I smile to myself. Knowing she’s carrying our child has me on a high.
“What are you smiling at?” She smiles down at me.
“I’ve missed ya. Can’t yer husband be happy to see ya?”
She leans in and pecks my lips. “You’ve been driving everyone crazy. You think I haven’t heard about you?”
I grin back at her. “What have ya heard?”
“Anika moved because you were at her door nearly every day.”
“Ach, if ya think I be the reason she took off, I don’t think yer the full shilling at all, so it is. We need to have yer noddle checked, we do.”
She bursts out laughing at me. Her face brightens with the gesture. My heart fills with so much love as the sound rings out.
“God, I’ve missed your voice. Okay, you’re right. I’ve heard about what’s been going on with her.
“Still, Lyric has been seconds off getting a restraining order against you. You’ve been at his office at least once a week. Thank God, Logan and LaSalle put a stop to that before you ruined his campaign.
“You’ve even been to Ireland to harass your mother, thinking she was hiding me out. I’ve heard a lot,” she says with a rueful smile on her lips.
“Ya think I don’t know that she was at some point?” I lift a knowing brow.
Ma and Da did have her there with them during the first week or two. That’s where I lost track of her. The way Ma laid into me told me my wife had been there.
Danny sighs. “She’s going to kill me when she sees me.”
“I doubt that. Yer her favorite.”
She snorts. “The only thing that might save me is the baby. I had to leave without a word. I knew she was trying to keep me there until you arrived.”
I roar with laughter. “Okay, ya might be right. Although she wouldn’t rat ya out once ya were gone. So ya might still have her favor.”
“We’ll see.”
I run my hands up her sides and then back down again. She bites her lip as I move my hands to palm her full ass then squeeze. Lifting from my seat, I look her in the eyes as I lean in to take her lips.
She moans as I groan and kiss her deeply while now hovering over her. The slacks to the suit I’ve changed into begin to become tight. I want my wife again. Her pregnant pussy feels too grand to ignore.
“Ro, baby. We’re going to miss the entire wedding.”
I groan and place my forehead to hers. “I can name at least two more weddings that will be here, not including ours.” A smile comes to my lips as I think of the vow renewal we were planning before she took off. “After all his planning and fussing, Ryan won’t know we’re missing.”
