Saint by AJ Fallow
Star-crossed lovers on opposite sides of a mafia blood feud…
If my family ever learned the truth, it would mean his death.
My hands trembled as I touched them to my lips. The kiss had been a sweet kind of danger, a roguish wink of sea glass eyes beneath that unruly mop of hair. Alfie Doyle looked like he was in the business of breaking hearts, not heads. Certainly not causing turf wars. But my father wouldn’t differentiate.
Alfie was the enemy. A McTiernan by affiliation, if not by blood. And I was a Moretti by fate, with a duty to my family. There was only one thing I could do.I would keep him a secret.
My Irishman who courted me with black roses.
