Crow by A. Zavarelli
When I walked into his club looking for a job…
I had no intention of capturing the attention of the notorious Lachlan Crow.
His reputation sends a shiver down most spines. Now the Irish mafia overlord is my new boss.
He doesn’t trust me, and I don’t trust him. But it doesn’t matter because I have a job to do. I can’t let him distract me, even if he burns hotter than the sun.
And all those growly commands and dark looks he tosses around? I won’t let them get to me.
He’s used to everyone falling in line and obeying his every command, but he doesn’t know why I really needed this job.
Lying to him was supposed to be easy. Except the longer I’m near him, the harder it gets.
It doesn’t feel like a game anymore because now my heart’s on the line. And when the web I’ve spun begins to unravel, it could destroy us both.
Now Lachlan has a choice to make.
Let me go forever…
Or burn his world to save me.

Jealous/Possessive Hero
An Irish mobster. A missing friend. Two loyalties, ripping me apart.
I had a plan.
Get in, get my information, and get out. Easy, right?
Turns out, infiltrating the Irish mafia isn't exactly what I thought it would be. I just wanted a soldier. Someone I could flirt with to get me in the door.
That's when Lachlan Crow noticed me. Problem was, he wasn't a soldier. No, he was next in line for the throne of the Irish underworld. And he was determined to hate me from the outset. My sob story about needing a job? Yeah, he wasn't buying that either.
Too bad for him, I won't let anyone get in the way of my mission.
Who cares if we have some kind of crazy chemistry? He's the worst kind of wrong – and I would never in a million years be with a guy like him.
Because they took her from me, and I'm going to make them pay.
