About the Book

Her father sold her name to the Irish mob in South Boston. The man who comes to collect doesn't negotiate — he acquires.

Sarah Miller preserves the past for a living — sacramental registers, sealed depositions, a century of parish secrets locked in a limestone vault beneath a bankrupt church. Invisible by design. Her father signs her name as guarantor on a Southie syndicate debt and disappears.

Cillian Brannagh dismantled the old Southie families one by one and poured himself into the wreckage. Runs his empire from the back room of a neighborhood pub called The Pale. Came to the parish for a stolen cipher encrypted in a dead man's handwriting buried in a hundred years of Church records. Found the dead man's daughter instead.

Dark Irish mafia romance, possessive morally-gray mob boss, archivist heroine, immersive heat. Book 1 of Shards of the Infinite — standalone, no cliffhanger.
