Cillian
Sullivan Scoundrels
Ramani Rose
He was the ghost that haunted every dream.
Now he’s the man waiting for me at the end of the aisle.
Cillian Sullivan—Irish mob prince, my father’s newest ally, my worst sin.
My testimony destroyed his life, and my silence now might destroy mine.
He doesn’t know what I did.
He doesn’t know who I am.
But when his touch feels like both punishment and prayer, I start to wonder—
what if my penance is loving him?
Cillian is book one of the Sullivan Scoundrels, an alternative history/historical romance that's heavy on the Beauty and The Beast vibes. If historical accuracy is important to you, this read you might want to skip. But if you like over-the-top, morally grey, dangerous heroes who will do anything for the women they love, you might just like what you see.
