Patrick

**Head of the Irish mob, Patrick Murphy can have any woman he wants.

Except the one he hungers for most…Lauren, his *ward*.**

Patrick Murphy leads the Irish mafia in his city. He could have any woman he wants, except the one he’s forbidden himself to take—his ward, Lauren. The woman he craves.

Until now, he’s managed to keep her out of his arms by sending her out of the country. But she’s finished with college and is back home, and his resolve is rapidly crumbling. She’s determined to have him, and it’s impossible to fight her and himself.

If… *when* …he surrenders, he knows she’ll hate him once she finds out his darkest secret. One that will change everything.
