Captive Audience: A Dark Irish Mafia Romance (The Beasts of Belfast Book 1)

About this book

Asha, a sharp-witted true crime podcaster, prides herself on spotting danger from a mile away. However, her instincts fail her the moment she meets Rook O’Connell. One reckless night leads to a trap she never saw coming, binding her to a ruthless Irish mobster in a forced marriage. Rook is a man haunted by his brother’s unsolved murder, and he isn't letting Asha go until she uses her investigative skills to crack the case that has consumed his life. Trapped in his dangerous world and forced into his bed, Asha finds her hatred warring with a growing, unwanted craving for her captor. As she digs into the secrets of the Belfast underworld, she discovers that Rook is far more than a cold-blooded criminal; he is a man of dark obsessions who has been watching her from the shadows for a year, determined to make her his. Featuring the classic "touch her and die" trope, this dark romance blends high-stakes suspense with intense emotional volatility. As the line between captor and protector blurs, Asha must decide if she is truly a prisoner of the Irish mafia or if she has finally found the one man willing to burn the world down to keep her safe.
