Dublin Brute by Jenn Madore

He is the man my father warned me about—too bad I didn’t listen.

I hate Brendan Quinn.

He’s half of the Dublin Brute/Dublin Beast enforcer twins and is suspected in all manner of violent crimes—that’s not my issue with him.

Because of my father’s position in Europol, optics are everything. He background checks my friends, he forbids me to do almost anything, and he moves me all around the EU without giving my life a second thought. In the mind of Jordan Kelly, me toeing the line is a small price to pay for the important work he does weeding out organized crime to end the rule of mafia organizations.

But when he heads up a new organized crime task force in Ireland, a random act of violence drops me into Brendan Quinn’s orbit. I try to resist him—I honestly do—but the Dublin Brute is so much more than a criminal out for blood. Beneath his need to throw fists and draw blood, I see him…the man.

Not all good guys are good and not all bad guys are bad… and sometimes the enemy is standing right in front of you and you fail to realize the danger until it’s too late.
