Irish Mafia! Yes, Please! Nicole, you tangled my emotions with the slow burn and all of the tension and heat! You packed it in all so perfectly! My favorite is the “My Wife” kink and the forced marriage from the MFC instead of the MMC! I definitely recommend reading “Little Death” before this one in my opinion because it set the background between Aiden and Catriona. You wont be disappointed! Happy Reading!
