Vicious Seduction: Special Print Edition (The Byrne Brothers)

When a ruthless Irish mob enforcer decides you're the perfect pawn for his revenge scheme, "no" isn't really an option.

Lina Schultze has her life arranged exactly the way she wants it—until Oran Byrne materializes with a secret that could destroy everything she's built. His terms are simple and devastating: play his devoted fiancée, or watch her carefully constructed world collapse. Trapped in a fake engagement with a man who weaponizes charm as easily as he does violence, Lina is furious, cornered, and absolutely determined to hate him.

She very nearly succeeds.

Oran never planned on wanting her. Lina was supposed to be a means to an end—a strategic move in a dangerous game of criminal politics that has nothing to do with desire. But somewhere between the lies they tell the world and the charged, suffocating tension they can't outrun, his calculated control begins to fracture. Her fire doesn't intimidate him. It consumes him.

Set against the morally complex backdrop of organized crime, *Vicious Seduction* is an unputdownable dark romance that refuses to flinch from the complicated, magnetic pull between two people who should never want each other—and desperately do. Fake engagements have a way of unearthing inconvenient truths, and the most dangerous truth of all is that neither of them wants this arrangement to end.

Some traps are built for two.
