Sweet Vengeance: Alternate Paperback Cover

Cillian lives in the shadows, a man forged by violence and the harsh realities of a life spent navigating the criminal underworld. He is closed off, cynical, and entirely unaccustomed to the light. Then there is Ollie Gibson, a spirited, big-hearted law student whose unwavering kindness is as irritating as it is magnetic. They shouldn't make sense, yet Cillian finds himself transfixed by the fire simmering beneath Ollie’s gentle exterior. When a brutal attack leaves Ollie vulnerable, Cillian’s protective instincts ignite with a lethal intensity. He steps in as a guardian, blurring the lines of their arrangement and spiraling into a devotion he never asked for. As they navigate the dangerous interface between Cillian’s dark world and Ollie’s clean-cut future, the chemistry between them turns scorching. What began as a temporary shield against threats quickly evolves into a desperate, messy, and all-consuming need. But in a world governed by secrets and retribution, safety is an illusion. Cillian knows the toll his life demands, and he fears that his own gravity will eventually pull Ollie into the abyss. Caught between his past and the possibility of a future he isn’t equipped to handle, Cillian must decide if he is capable of letting go—or if he will burn the world down to keep Ollie by his side.
