Irish Stories

Book 3 in the Sins of the City series. ✯✯✯ My mother's blood paved the way for their perfect little fucking life. They built their castle on the ruins of everything they stole from me, turned my suffering into the price of their goddamn happiness. I was left in the dark, forgotten, like my pain was just some necessary sacrifice for their bliss. But now, it's fucking payback. They'll bleed for every stolen second, every shattered dream, every ounce of dignity they ripped from me. Their laughter will be drowned in their own screams, their city will choke on the blood I spill, and their world will burn under the weight of my wrath. I am Titus fucking Minetti, king of the East Coast. And I don't just rise from the ashes. I fucking own them.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇,, 𝐅𝐢𝐚𝐝𝐡 𝐅𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧 doesn't want much- she's learnt not to expect it. Her dad's moved out and was replaced by her mam's new boyfriend. The youngest daughter sticks to herself at home, not muttering more than a 'hello' unless visitors are over. Then, they have to play happy families. It's an endless cycle of smiles and long sleeves. Everybody in her life has failed her. 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐡𝐝 𝐋𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐡 is free. He's safe. With a warm bed, home-cooked meals and a nosy family checking if he's okay. Yet, part of him was still stuck in that house. Where the fire of arguments and fists always lingered. Insomnia had taken over his nights, leaving him to run on spite and energy drinks. Snappy and unapologetically himself, and the fights in school to prove it. 𝐎𝐑,, 𝐀 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐲 brought them together. Fiadh was on edge her whole first day at Tommen. She was used to being terrorised in school, so all she could do was wait for it to arrive. But, it didn't. All that appeared was the boy who sat next to her in Maths. He pulled her out the toilet queue and introduced her to his friends. Noticed the chocolate bar she was rustling in her pocket and asked if they could share it. From that day on, he picked up a hammer and broke down her walls. Revealing the bubbly, scared girl underneath. Will Tadhg be able to face his trauma in order to save her, or fall victim to her rehearsed lies?

Danny Callahan wasn't looking for trouble. He was just a stockbroker who took a wrong turn down a Manhattan alley on a rainy Tuesday night - and saw something he was never supposed to see. The kind of thing powerful people kill to keep quiet. Danny should have walked away. He almost did. Instead he walked into The Black Rose, an Irish pub on the corner, ordered a whiskey, and met Vivian Cross - the bartender who sees everything, says exactly what she thinks, and doesn't back down from anyone. Including him. By midnight, they're both running. Neither of them asked for this. Neither of them trusts the other. But Danny's face is already in the wrong hands, and the people looking for him don't leave loose ends. Vivian Cross didn't grab her jacket to stand on the sideline. Wall Street has secrets it will kill to keep. Danny has a past he's never told anyone. And somewhere beneath the rain-slicked streets of Manhattan, something much bigger than one wrong turn is about to surface. The Black Rose. Book One.

New things can be good, even if it's heartbreak... Ciara Murphy and her family have moved after the passing of her late father. Moving to Ballylaggin was the next best thing, as her ma's sister, Marrie and her family live there. Ciara has been struggling with herself for years, and starting at Tommen, she seems to get worse. Joining the soccer team, falling in love, drama, and heartbreak rush her way, along with the fear of her secret getting out in this small town as big as the world. Quinn Gibson is the star goalie for Tommen's soccer team and head of the photography club. She and her older brother, Gerard, are both quite popular within the school. Dating Ronan McGarry on the rugby team and being one of the most popular girls in her year is a brilliant combination for her, although her heart seems to say otherwise when she meets the new girl. Drawn together, Ciara and Quinn can't seem to be separated if anyone tried, or can they? What is Ciara hiding? Why is Quinn so afraid to fall from her pedestal?

Grief changes people. For Iona rose White, it rewrote her entire life. After the death of her parents, Iona leaves Scotland behind and moves to Ballylaggin, carrying more than just her belongings with her. She carries trauma, depression, and memories she refuses to talk about. Over time, she finds friends who become her anchor, moments of happiness she didn't think she deserved, and a sense of belonging she never expected. But healing takes time. And sometimes it hurts before it helps. Cian Hughes grew up surrounded by noise-family dinners, muddy rugby boots by the door, laughter that carried through the house. He had everything a boy was supposed to have. Until he met Iona White. From the moment she entered his life, quiet and guarded, Cian felt something shift. Wanting to protect her came naturally. Loving her did too. But loving someone who is breaking teaches you lessons no one prepares you for.
