“I’m wrecked, ruined, destroyed, and in awe.” – #1 New York Times bestselling author, Rachel Van Dyken
The next captivating installment in New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams’s Redemption series.
As the Princess of the Irish-American Mob, there’s no shortage of men ready to help guard and protect me. To slowly suffocate me to the point of seeking freedom—a place where I can breathe.
Kieran Hayes has been saving me for as long as I can remember. It’s in his blood, and one of the many reasons I fell in love with him. Until my favorite trait became his biggest flaw, making me resent the man I love. An unwavering warrior, his love for me has been shrouded by those instincts.
Save Lily. Protect Lily. Hide Lily. Cage Lily.
What I wasn’t prepared for was Dare—the man who would set my world on fire with just one touch. He saw straight through to my soul, as though he knew I was desperate for freedom, and silently demanded my heart from the beginning.
And I didn’t expect Dare to be Demitri Borello—the reason for so many deaths in my family. A man who will take my life the moment he finds out who I am.
Despite it all, I’ll love him until that moment comes.
A fire will die if there is no oxygen for it to consume. Ours is rapidly stealing every last breath we can sacrifice to it.

“Nothing’s getting past me,” I assured her.
Her breath washed over my lips as I leaned in to kiss her again when she whispered, “I thought we were talking about you.”
I paused for a few seconds, then looked up into her hazel eyes. “What?”
“I think I’m in danger from you.”
My brow pulled tight, and I forced out a low, frustrated laugh. “Me.”
She nodded again, the movement of her head so slow as her eyes explored mine. “I need you to let me go for so many reasons, but I easily forget why when you don’t. I think there was a reason neither of us crossed that invisible barrier before today. Because being in your arms?” She hesitated, her tongue quickly darting out to wet her lips. “Trust me, it’s dangerous.”
A weight pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. Because damn it if she wasn’t right.
There were dozens of girls over the years who’d meant nothing more than a night. Maybe two. Not one could I remember the name of, most I couldn’t remember their face.
Then there’d been one who I would’ve sold my soul for if I could’ve had one more night with her.
My days with her had been everything. A slow burn that had built over time until I hadn’t been able to get enough of her. Until she’d meant too much.
And there hadn’t been a girl since.
Not a second glance. Not a thought. Nothing.
Until one morning at Brooks a few years ago.
But there was nothing slow about the thoughts and needs for the girl pressed against me. There hadn’t been since the very first morning I’d found her staring at a mirror like it had the power to destroy her world. Like that possibility fascinated her.
Fuck, if I didn’t need to find out why.
Dangerous was exactly what we were. Only she had no idea just how much.
My gut twisted as unwanted thoughts entered my mind, but I pushed them away. Because I knew what I needed to do. I needed to let her go and force myself not to follow.
But when there’s a flicker of light in your life after so much darkness, it’s impossible to stay away.
And this girl burned so damn bright.
Calling to me and beckoning me toward her, and I knew no matter how many times I let her slip away, I would follow her just to catch her again.
I brushed my thumb across her full lips. “Goddamn firefly.”
AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW
Molly has a way of doing this to me - seriously how can you choose - Truth or Dare... BUT what about Kieran !! This is like the whole Chase and Brandon thing !! I am always hoping for a threesome of love when I read a Molly book !! Regardless I am never disappointed in her stories and I am looking forward to the next book although it may be a bit weird to see him move on ??
Being the Princess of a mob family isn't always all it's cracked up to be. Lily has suffered loss and agony throughout her life and despite having her love Kieran and her best friend Beck by her side the past 4 years have been tragic. Hidden away , Lily is expected to follow the orders of her father , her boyfriend and anyone else there to protect her. She has watched Kieran spiral out of control and become someone she never wanted him to be. He is distant and brutal in his work. No matter how much he claims it is all for her all she really wants is to look in his eyes and feel warmth and love. Over the past couple of years Lily has been sneaking around behind everyones back to see her friend, what she didn't realize until it was too late was that she had caught the eyes of someone who could potentially save her OR put her in even more danger.
After 2 years of simple glances and little notes Dare finally breaks his rules and talks to the girl that he can't stop thinking of. He hasn't felt this kind of connection in years and even though he is set on getting revenge for his family and loss he isn't able to stay focussed with this girl in his head. L and Dare have an amazing connection and chemistry BUT there is many secrets and danger that can come from their interactions. L puts it all on the line everytime she leaves the house but Dare doesn't realize what he is putting on the line falling for her. Not everyone in Dare's inner circle is accepting of L - and for good reason , Johnny's instincts are spot on BUT he is a bit too fierce in his methods !! Little by little the story plays out and you see that while there may be two families at war lines are being crossed and it is for the greater good.
Which family comes out on top - Who gets their revenge - Who gets the girls and happiness ??
A powerhouse romantic suspense that will have you questioning your morals and second guessing your view on love.
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
