The O'Connors and the Kelly’s have an old score to settle

London, 1985

Orla O’Connor has spent her entire life trying to escape the weight of her family name. Raised on one brutal rule — blood comes first — she knows the O’Connors never forget betrayal, and they never forgive it. Grudges are inherited like family heirlooms, passed down through generations soaked in violence and revenge.

When a long-buried feud between the O’Connors and the Kellys erupts once again, Orla finds herself trapped between loyalty to her family and a dangerous love that could destroy everything. Shay Quigley has already pulled her into a world of secrets, bloodshed, and impossible choices, where trust is fragile and feelings are deadlier than enemies.

As tensions rise and war looms closer, Orla must choose between the life expected of her and the future she desperately wants. But with a baby depending on her, every decision carries devastating consequences — because in her world, loyalty can be the most lethal weapon of all.
