If You Go

Surry O'Brien swore she'd never fall in love again. Not after Gavin. Not after the scars-both the ones inked into her skin and the one carved into her face. Fifteen years ago Surry learned that she wasn't the daughter of a rich secruity company owner. No, she was the heiress to the Irish Mafia located in Seattle, Washington. She had fallen in love with a man who was also in the "family business" and thought that she would run the operation with him one day, him right at her side, her partner. But little did she know, he was on marrying her for what she could provide him. Fast forward to eleven years ago she finally escaped him for good. Or so she thought. But freedom doesn't come without ghosts, and when those ghosts start sending threats painted in blood and ruin, her carefully rebuilt world begins to fracture.

Brenden Slater built his empire with his brothers-construction by day, justice by night. The Slaters fix what's broken, even when what's broken fights back. After watching their mother fall victim to bad man, after bad man, they made the decision to never let another man hurt another woman if they could help it. Brenden only had that, his business, and his brothers on his mind. That is, until one of women they rescued had her tattoo shop blown up. That sent them into a spiral of panicking. Watching their back, full lock down, stress and security. That is until people are invited over, which is fine. They needed a break from the lock down. But the last thing he expects is her-a woman who smells like rain and danger, who stirs something protective, primal, and absolutely forbidden inside him.

When Surry's past resurfaces, dragging the Irish and Russian mafias into a storm of vengeance, Brenden becomes the one man standing between her and the monster who refuses to let her go. She's fire and fight and everything he didn't know he wanted. But loving her might cost him everything-including his soul. Especially when that woman decided to become a martyr for her friends and family.

Dark romance meets found family in If You Go, a story of trauma, healing, and the kind of love that burns hot enough to brand.
