The Rival's Ring

In Blackwater, two families own the river. And they've spent generations trying to destroy each other.

Finn O'Rourke is the calculating, impeccably dressed heir to an Irish crime family. Maximo Alvarez is the dangerously charming boxer who runs the rival family's docks. For six years, they've fought over contracts, territory, and control of the waterfront.

Six years ago, they also spent one unforgettable night together. Neither has forgiven the other for what happened afterward.

When stolen shipments and two carefully staged murders threaten to ignite a waterfront war, Finn and Maximo discover that someone is manipulating both families. Their solution is as outrageous as it is effective: an eight-week engagement, a very public wedding announcement, and a marriage contract designed to keep their families from tearing the city apart.

The rules are simple. Share a penthouse. Wear the rings. Convince everyone they're desperately in love. Keep their hands to themselves when the cameras aren't watching.

Unfortunately, six years of unresolved desire have made that last rule almost impossible.

As their investigation exposes a conspiracy reaching into both families, their arrangement becomes something neither man knows how to survive. Because falling in love with the enemy is dangerous.

Trusting him with everything might be fatal.

A high-heat MM mafia romance featuring enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fake engagement, dangerous family loyalties, possessive protection, and a hard-won happily ever after.
