Legacy Of Ashes

She’s the reluctant heir to a criminal empire. He’s the man who’s loved her from the shadows for years.

Saoirse Kavanagh spent her life running from her family’s dark legacy, building a new identity in the academic world far from Boston’s bloody streets. But when her father suffers a massive stroke, she’s forced to return home and face the empire she never wanted to inherit.

Conall Devlin has served the Kavanagh family for twenty years, rising from street soldier to trusted right hand. He’s kept his distance from the boss’s brilliant, beautiful daughter—until family crisis thrusts them together and threatens to expose the feelings he’s buried for over a decade.

With rival families circling like vultures and enemies plotting from within, Saoirse must choose between the freedom she’s always craved and the responsibility that could destroy her. As she navigates deadly power plays and family betrayals, only Conall stands between her and those who would see the Kavanagh name erased forever.

But loving your father’s most dangerous lieutenant comes with a price—and some secrets, once revealed, can never be taken back.

This steamy standalone finale features an age-gap romance, a reluctant female leader, and a devoted hero who will burn the world down to protect the woman he loves. Contains mature themes and scorching scenes.
