Secrets, love, and power are a dangerous combination.
The Turris starts with the head of the Irish Mafia, and the city isn’t ready for how far Eian Dempsey’s willing to go when he’s in love.
Colby
Being a mob informant is not a career I dreamed of but it found me anyway. I’m straddling a thin line here, not fully committing to a criminal life, but also not an upstanding citizen the way I used to be.
One stupid decision after the other and my annoying need to know everything lands me in the worst possible situation, but even then, I realize that being a freelancer for the Irish Mob isn’t the worst idea I’ve ever had.
No, the worst is trying to bargain with “the boss” about my value to his organization. But the truth is that Eian Dempsey needs my skills to help protect this city from the worst kind of monsters, and I have to make sure he understands that no matter how much he hates it.
And okay, I could blame that stupid decision on many things—being laid out in the hospital, near-death experience, coming face-to-face the scariest guy in this city—but the truth is more humiliating.
The freaking lust spell he puts on me the moment we meet is inconvenient at best, and deadly at worst.
Eian
Just like my father, I’ve made it my life’s mission to be the monster other monsters fear—that and protecting my family are the only things that have ever mattered to me.
Until Colby.
I’m rarely impressed by anything, but seeing how hard he fights to live changes something in me. Then, even when he’s trembling with fear in front of me, he holds my gaze, he argues with me, tells me I need him to take down an organization of the worst kind of humans plaguing my city, and fuck me, he’s right.
Even while we’re dealing with that, I can’t ignore the effect he has on my body and my heart.
If being nosy as fuck were an Olympic sport, he’d win all the medals, but keeping secrets is pretty much the first job my father trained me for, and I can't reveal anything until I know he'll keep my secrets
I can’t know if he’ll ever feel for me what I feel for him—it’s all-consuming and frankly, annoying as fuck.
But I’m damned if I won’t do my best to bring him down with me.
