But at twenty-six, I’ve left my “perfect” life in New York behind and ended up in Ireland. When my car hits a ditch, I’m rescued by the three sexiest men I’ve ever seen. The three Irish O’Callaghan brothers. Broad shoulders, strong arms, accents that make me wet just to hear them. Killian, the bossy one. Fionn, the cheeky one. And Aiden, the silent one with a secret. They all want me. I want them. All of them. I have to choose...right? Or will I be the thing that tears this family apart. MY IRISH KINGS We will protect her...at all costs. Ireland’s most ruthless gang leader is forcing me to marry him. I escape to the only place I can be safe—home of my captor’s biggest rival, the Irish Kings. There’s X, the living weapon with a haunted past. He won't touch anyone. Except me. Jace, the teddy bear with a warrior’s heart. His melodic Irish brogue is a balm to my soul. And Magnar King, their intimidating leader. Whose eyes flare with hunger when I’m near, yet backs away like I’ve burned him when we touch. He doesn’t remember me. But I remember him. They’re all so different. But they all make me feel safe. They awaken needs in me—strange needs. I want all of them. I just might need all of them to heal. And when my ex comes hunting for me, they will protect me at all costs...
