ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 10, 2026

They buried me fifteen years ago.

I let them.

My family and the Kerrigans were supposed to become one empire. Their heir would marry a Madigan daughter, and two crime families would run as one. I was the daughter. Then someone burned my whole world down to stop that wedding, and being a Madigan became a death sentence for anyone who got close to my name.

So I stayed dead. New name. Quiet bar in Chicago. Good locks on every door. Because the day a living Madigan walks back into a Kerrigan’s life, the arrangement looks real again, and everyone I love ends up the way my family did.

Then they found me.

Tiernan chased my family’s name across the world to get to me.

Ronan, the heir, the only Kerrigan by blood, looked at me like he already knew. The man I was promised to before I had any say.

And Cormac clocked my lie before I poured his first drink. He’s the one holding himself back like touching me would cost him something. Maybe it would.

I should have run. It’s the one thing I’m good at.

I let them take me home instead.

I was promised to one of them. I’m falling for all three. And someone out there still wants every Madigan in the ground.

REVIEW: IRISH OATH is the first instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult KERRIGAN MAFIA why choose, reverse harem Irish Mafia romance series focusing on the Kerrigan brothers Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, and bar owner Sienna Madigan.

Told from four first person perspectives (Ronan, Tiernan, Cormac and Sienna) IRISH OATH introduces the backstories and players in the world of the Kerrigan Mafia. Approximately fifteen years earlier, a seven year old Sienna Madigan lost everything when her parents were murdered but escaping to America has come to an end when one of her former neighbors in Ireland, Tiernan Kerrigan, walks into her bar, and recognizes the girl he knew years before. A promise meant to merge the Kerrigan and Madigan crime families ended with the death of Sienna’s parents, and together with Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, Sienna was about to dive deep into the world she never knew but a world of which she is about to become.

The world building follows the hunt for the truth as the foursome battle the odds and search through the clues. At every turn , someone is targeting our story line heroine, but the years of accumulated betrayal and lies has manifest in the ultimate crime.

The relationship between Sienna and the brothers begins acrimoniously as our heroine as always believed the Kerrigan Crime family was guilty or complicit in the death of her parents but the brothers will produce their proof of innocence, as Sienna begins to uncover the clues and evidence her father left behind. Ronan has always believed Sienna was the woman promised at birth but Sienna is about to discover that all three men are worthy of forever. The $ex scenes are passionate, yet mostly implied, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited as the majority of the story line focuses on the building of suspense, backstories, histories and evidence pointing towards a familiar face.

IRISH OATH is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and loss, relationships and growing love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance differs between each couple; the characters are desperate, determined and tenacious. IRISH OATH ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 22, 2026

The man who taught me everything is alive.
He’s always been alive.
And he wants me married to the Kerrigan heir.

The arrangement my father signed should have burned with the rest of my family. It didn’t. Now the man behind it has crawled out of fifteen years of dark to collect, and he’s certain every move I’ve ever made was one he set up for me.

The groom. The vows. The whole performance.

Fine. He’ll get his wedding.

Ronan stands across from me as the groom, the only true Kerrigan in a house full of men who’d burn for the name. Tiernan, close enough to wreck me. Cormac, working every exit, refusing to look at me the one time I need him to.

One of them is the groom.
All three of them are mine.

He thinks I’m walking into this with no way out.

He’s never seen what I do when someone tries to take my choice from me.

REVIEW: IRISH CROWN is the second instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult KERRIGAN MAFIA why choose, reverse harem Irish Mafia romance series focusing on the Kerrigan brothers Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, and bar owner Sienna Madigan. IRISH CROWN is the continuing story of our foursome, and should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one IRISH OATH.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately fifteen years earlier, a seven year old Sienna Madigan lost everything when her parents were murdered but escaping to America has come to an end when one of her former neighbors in Ireland, Tiernan Kerrigan, walks into her bar, and recognizes the girl he knew years before. A promise meant to merge the Kerrigan and Madigan crime families ended with the death of Sienna’s parents, and together with Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, Sienna was about to dive deep into the world she never knew but a world of which she is about to become.

Told from four first person perspectives (Ronan, Tiernan,Cormac and Sienna) IRISH CROWN focuses on the promise, the unwritten contract meant to merge the Madison and Kerrigan Irish Crime Families-an heir from one house was to marry the heir from another but a deadly betrayal would push the families apart. With Sienna’s return to Ireland, and with the help of the Kerrigan brothers, the foursome would continue their deep dive into the past to uncover the who and why. An arranged marriage is about to come to fruition, and with it, the revelation of the truth, and forty years of friendships and betrayals will surface to the top.

The world building is complex and detailed using figurative language, metaphors, and idioms adding color and idiomatic expressions as the family hunts for the truth. Doors are meant to be opened, threads are meant to be pulled, pathways walked where others have walked before.

The relationship between Sienna and the brothers continues to be passionate and intense. As the eldest, Ronan has been promised to Sienna but Sienna loves each man equally although Cormac is slower to accept than the rest.

The secondary and supporting characters include ghosts from the past, some thought to be dead, while others thought to be family and friends including Sienna’s father’s right hand man Eamon Brennan and crime lord Lorca Doyle.

IRISH CROWN is another story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and madness, acceptance and love.The character driven premise is a dramatic narrative of internal thoughts and suppositions; the characters are desperate and determined; the romance is limited but fated and edgy. IRISH CROWN ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-your have been warned.

(Kerrigan Mafia 3)

Genre: adult, contemporary, dark, Mafia, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 5, 2026

Three men chose me. Two of them share my bed.

The third has watched me from behind a shut door since the night I walked in bleeding. He has wanted me every night since. He has never once reached, and I have never once knocked.

That door is about to open. All the way.

For the first time since I was fifteen, I have a home. Ronan, who holds my whole weight like it’s nothing. Tiernan, who talks me out of my own head and never stops. And Cormac, down the hall, with the lamp still burning. The war is won, and still I stand in my warm kitchen at four in the morning, counting the exits. Nobody warns you that when the running ends, you’re a woman with nothing to be afraid of and no idea what to do with her hands.

Then a photograph arrives before dawn. A stolen boy on a ferry. On his shoulder, a hand that walked out of my family’s fire and was never charged.

The man who holds him isn’t Doyle. Doyle killed for meaning. Fearghal Mahon invoices. He doesn’t want the boy. He wants what the boy is worth, and he’s patient, and he’s cheap, and he’s the first hunter I’ve ever met who reads people the way I do.
I can’t outplay him. The boy in that box is me at fifteen, back to a wall, counting exits. The only way to reach a child who trusts no warm room is to finally walk all the way into mine. All three doors. Even the one that never opens.

Especially that one.

It’s the whole door or the cold.

REVIEW: IRISH BLOOD is the third instalment in Savannah Rylan’s contemporary, adult KERRIGAN MAFIA dark, why choose, reverse harem Irish Mafia romance series focusing on the Kerrigan brothers -Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, and bar owner Sienna Madigan. IRISH BLOOD is the continuing story of our foursome, and should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one IRISH CROWN

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately fifteen years earlier, a seven year old Sienna Madigan lost everything when her parents were murdered but escaping to America has come to an end when one of her former neighbors in Ireland, Tiernan Kerrigan, walks into her bar, and recognizes the girl he knew years before. A promise meant to merge the Kerrigan and Madigan crime families ended with the death of Sienna’s parents, and together with Ronan, Tiernan and Cormac, Sienna was about to dive deep into the world she never knew but a world of which she is about to become.

NOTE: If you have not read the previous instalments, there may be spoilers in my review

Told from four first person perspectives (Ronan, Tiernan, Cormac and Sienna) IRISH BLOOD focuses on the continuing relationship between Sienna Madigan-Kerrigan, and the men whom she loves. As part of the family contract, Ronan and Sienna were promised to one another as children, and Ronan is determined to see it through. Married to Ronan but in love with all three, Sienna finds herself at peace until a photograph of a young fifteen year old boy threatens all sense of happiness. Meant to be a pawn in exchange for a powerful crime world folio, the young boy with connections to the past, finds himself on the run, hiding in plain sight as the Madigan-Kerrigan family struggle to keep him safe.

The world building, once again, is complex and comprehensive using figurative language, analogies, contemplation and locutions adding color and internal dialogue as the family hunts for a missing boy and the people who have made him a pawn. Doors, both figurative and real are left open to welcome a fifteen-year old young man looking for a safe landing but trust must be earned, and the family is no longer confident in their conviction to save what does not want to be saved.

The relationship between Sienna and Ronan, Tiernan, Cormac is a why-choose, reverse harem in which Sienna loves all three, and all three in return. Cormac is the quiet one, the ‘door’ who sees all and the last man to take what is freely offered. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited as we are reintroduced to Eamon Brennan, a man who has been controlled by someone else but a man who is about to lose everything he once loved; fifteen-year old Oisin, Cathal Mulryan, and Mahon. Desperate men behave desperately, and a fifteen-year old will pay the price.

IRISH BLOOD is another story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and edgy, but more of a written narrative of reflection and introspection as the four main leads search within for the truth. The characters are desperate, determined and controlled; the romance is seductive and spicy. IRISH BLOOD does not end on a happily ever after or a cliff hanger but a sense of loss and a need to move forward.
