Surry O'Brien swore she'd never fall in love again. Not after Gavin. Not after the scars-both the ones inked into her skin and the one carved into her face. Fifteen years on her wedding day she learned the truth, that he father was the leader of the Irish Mafia located in Seattle, Washington. And that she was to be the heiress of it when he retired. Her soon to be husband already knew, and had planned on it. Eleven years she finally escaped the abuse, and went into a quiet life with her friends and family. But freedom doesn't come without ghosts, and when those ghosts start sending threats painted in blood and ruin, her carefully rebuilt world begins to fracture.
Brenden Slater built his empire with his brothers-construction by day, justice by night. The Slaters fix what's broken, even when what's broken fights back. When they were young men, they saw their mother fall victim to bad man after bad man until one day, she was a victim no more. That was the day the Slater brothers decided that not one more woman would be a victim if they could help it. But chaos once again took hold of their life when one of their friends had their tattoo shop blown up. They all went into lock down, valuing security over comfort. That is until a group of friends were invited over. The last thing he expects is her-a woman who smells like rain and danger, who stirs something protective, primal, and absolutely forbidden inside him.
When Surry's past resurfaces, dragging the Irish and Russian mafias into a storm of vengeance, Brenden becomes the one man standing between her and the monster who refuses to let her go. She's fire and fight and everything he didn't know he wanted. But loving her might cost him everything-including his soul. Dark romance meets found family in If You Go, a story of trauma, healing, and the kind of love that burns hot enough to brand.
