Black Shamrocks MC

Only daughter of the volatile president of the Black Shamrocks MC and long-suffering sister to four overprotective brothers, Madelaine O'Brien has survived circumstances that would have broken a lesser woman. Mik "Mad Dog" Kennedy is her salvation, her reward for continuing to fight, and the matching piece of her soul.

Madelaine O'Brien is drowning beneath the emotional scars left by her destructive relationship with her first boyfriend. Mikhail "Mad Dog" Kennedy knows he made a near-fatal error the day he walked away from Maddi, leaving her in the abusive clutches of the man he thought she'd chosen over him. She's on the cusp of giving up. He's stricken by guilt and unsure how to fix her. Apart, they're both doomed to suffer. Together, they might just stand a chance.

From the outside, it appears Juliette Patrice has the perfect life. Her career is her number one priority, matched only by her desire to fulfil her parents' enormous expectations. Lucas "Timber" Blake is the sergeant-at-arms of the Black Shamrocks MC. A violent man who cares only for his club and his family, he's wrong for Juliette in every logical way. Still dealing with the fallout from events earlier in the year, Lucas is tested further when Juliette is dragged into the middle of the war between rival clubs. A war that's already had fatal consequences.

Rock bottom...some would say Benjamin O'Brien has finally reached it. When you've ruined your life and brought your loved ones to their knees in the process, you'd assume you couldn't fall any further. Lacey Marquis is done. Ruined. Deserted by the man she thought was the love of her life, she's reached her breaking point. It takes a lot to make the Black Shamrocks MC abandon their family, yet Benji has almost managed it. When the club discovers Lacey's involvement in his deception, they're both given one final chance. Make amends or die.

Wendy Markham. Gentle. Compassionate. Loyal. Stepmother to five headstrong children, longtime partner of the cantankerous ex-president of the Black Shamrocks MC, and the woman everyone turns to in a crisis. Patrick "Beast" O'Brien. Brutal. Merciless. Duplicitous. A father in name only, traitor to his own club, and a man living on borrowed time. He's broken all of the rules, hurt the one's closest to him, and then run away like a coward. She's been left behind to clean up his mess.

It should be smooth sailing from now on. Mik taking his rightful place as the President of the Black Shamrocks MC with his woman by his side. Maddi free from the demons that plague her, finally back in the tender embrace of the love of her life. Revenge. That dish best served cold. The need for it is eating Mik up inside. Filling him with hatred and blinding him to Maddi's struggle. He wants to avenge every wrong done to them while she wishes to forgive and forget.

In the past when people mentioned Joel O'Brien, they talked about "the quiet one". The boy who was the family's voice of reason and their go-to guy for wisdom well beyond his years. Nowadays, they whisper about the "crippled one". The man who radiates darkness, who wallows in his self-pity, and refuses to find a way to deal with the injuries he sustained at the beginning of the war that's threatening to engulf the Black Shamrocks MC.
