ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 26, 2026

She escaped once. She’s not sure she can survive it again.
Enya rebuilt her life from nothing. She ran from a man who nearly broke her.

For three years, she kept herself and her son safe. That was all that mattered; that had to be enough.
Then her past finds her.
A message, a warning, a reminder that some men do not let go.
Tank never planned on getting involved, but he’s a Fury Viper, and protection is what he does best.
What he does not expect is Enya. Her strength, her fear, and the way she carries everything alone.
Enya does not want saving, she does not want promises, she wants her son safe and her past buried where it belongs.
But when the danger escalates, and hiding is no longer an option, Enya is forced to choose.
She can keep running and risk losing everything, or she can trust a man who is willing to stand between her and the threat closing in.
Even if it costs him his life, even if loving him means facing everything she tried to forget.
Because this time, running may not be enough.

••••••

REVIEW: TANK is the fifth instalment in Brooke Summers’ contemporary, adult FURY VIPERS MC: DUBLIN, MC romance series, a spin off from the author’s FURY VIPERS MC. This is MC member Devin aka Tank and bartender Enya’s story line. TANK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. An important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers from more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Tank and Enya) TANK follows the acrimonious but building romance and relationship between Tank and Enya. An almost one-night stand ended when Enya pushed Tank out of her life but Enya’s past refuses to let go, and Tank is determined to become guardian and protector of the woman with whom he will fall in love, whether Enya wants hm to or not.

The world building focuses on the protection of Enya and her son Warren. For two years, Enya has been on the run, keeping one step ahead of her past but the past refuses to let go, and the Fury Vipers MC will stop at nothing to protect one of their own.

The relationship between Enya and Tank begins tempestuously but quickly turns into something more. Tank declares himself protector of our story line heroine, and within days, find himself falling for a woman who controls his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and determined including the return of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to Enya’s five year old son Warren, her mother Mary, and her ex Declan Fahy; and Enya’s friend and co-worker Ciara.

TANK is a story of power and control, betrayal and abuse, obsession and madness, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

Hades is the enforcer for the Saint’s Outlaws MC. Evangeline is the woman he could never have.

For years, he kept his distance, watching her build a life with another man, convincing himself she was never meant to be part of his world.

When tragedy strikes, leaving them as the only ones left to care for five grieving children, there’s no more running. No more pretending.

Evangeline never wanted the outlaw life. She had stability, safety, all the things she thought she wanted needed to be happy. Until one day, everything is ripped away.

Now, the only man who can protect her is the one she’s spent years avoiding.

Hades isn’t just her savior. He’s temptation in its most dangerous form. Dark. Possessive. Relentless.

So when the secrets behind her brother’s murder start to unravel, one thing becomes clear—Evangeline was never meant to be safe.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date. December 4, 2025

I never wanted to be a pawn in my father’s world, but when he arranged my marriage to Cesare Mariano, the head of the Italian Mafia with the Boston Elite Syndicate, I had no choice.
Three weeks later, I’m now his wife, bound to the cold, ruthless Capo who looks at me like I’m nothing more than a contract he was forced to sign.
Needless to say, I’m not happy at all. I may have been born into this life, but I refuse to be another pawn in a man’s world. I tell myself I won’t break, that I’ll endure whatever this marriage brings, until I start seeing cracks in Cesare’s icy control. And worse, he starts seeing the cracks in me.
He wasn’t supposed to care. He wasn’t supposed to look too closely. But when he discovers the truth about my past, all hell breaks loose.
Now, I don’t just have to survive this marriage—I have to survive him.
I refuse to admit I crave his protection. If I do, I may never escape the fire raging between us.

REVIEW: THE CAPO’S YULETIDE BRIDE by Brooke Summers is a contemporary, adult, dark, erotic, Mafia romance novella found in the author’s BOSTON ELITE SYNDICATE series, a part of the multi-authored 25 Days of Christmas Bikers and Mobsters This is nineteen year old Vittoria “Tori’ Costa, and forty-two year old Cesare Mariano’s story line. THE CAPO’S YULETIDE BRIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vittoria and Cesare) THE CAPO’S YULETIDE BRIDE focuses on the arranged aka forced marriage between nineteen year old Vittoria Costa, and forty-two year old Cesare Mariano, a marriage meant to form an alliance between the Costa Family of Ireland, and Mariano family of Boston. Cesare is a widower, a father of six children, most of whom are older than his future bride but Vittoria is a pawn in a much larger game, a target to destroy the power alliance.

The world building focuses on Vittoria’s role as a wife; a pawn, a strong woman forced to play a part under a threat of consequences; a woman who is placed in the direct line of fire, thrown from the proverbial frying pan into the fire but when Cesare discovers the truth about Vittoria’s life at home, Cesare becomes guardian and protector of our story line heroine. As the Syndicate moves to tighten their sense of power and control, the next generation of heirs must focus on the future, all of it arrange.

The relationship between Vittoria and Cesare is an arranged, forced marriage, for purposes of a long distance alliance but Vittoria struggles with what was, and what may be, and in this, our heroine finds herself at the mercy of the man with whom she will fall in love. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Cesare’s six children who are leery and oppose their father’s marriage to a much younger woman-Lorenzo, Ciro, Elisabetta, Valentina, Sofia and Giovanni; Vittoria’s parents Domenico and Siobhan, as well as several members of the Elite Boston Syndicate.

THE CAPO’S YULETIDE BRIDE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, abuse and dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is limited but seductive; the characters are desperate and charismatic.

REVIEW: THE THIEF is the fourth (and final?) instalment in Brooke Summers’ contemporary, adult THE HOULIHAN MEN OF DUBLIN dark, Irish Mafia romance series. This is fixer / thief Freddie Kinnock, and eighteen year old, Mafia princess Alastriona Grey-Gallagher’s story line. THE THIEF can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Freddie and Alastriona) THE THIEF follows in the wake of the murder of Alastriona’s father eighteen months earlier. Our heroine was raised outside of the Irish Mafia but the death of her father found our heroine the sole heir to her father’s line. Called home to meet the family she never knew, Alastriona finds herself under the security and protection of Freddie Kinnock, the man with whom our heroine will fall in love but someone is taking aim at our story line heroine, payment for the death of someone else.

The world building follows the hunt for a killer. The Gallagher Mafia family is heading towards war but someone is leaking important information, and everyone becomes suspect in a winner takes all.

The relationship between Freddie and Alastriona begins as protection. As the Gallagher family is targeted, Alastriona is called home for her own protection but someone is determined to destroy them all. Freddie knows to fall for Alastriona means to place our heroine in danger but the heart wants something, and Freddie was our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, colorful and ultimately powerful secondary and supporting, many of who crossing over with the author’s numerous and interconnected series including the Fury Vipers MC and Made series. We are introduced to Alastriona’s grandfather Henry Gallagher, and several members of the Gallagher Mafia family. Not everyone will survive.

THE THIEF is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, madness and obsession, family and relationships, grief and love. The character driven premise is dramatic, dark and heart breaking; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

Now his best friend’s dead. Executed for a package worth dying for. And Ciarán? He’s next. Unless he runs. Caoimhe’s life ended the night Dylan didn’t come home.

Now she’s grieving, hunted, and alone. No one’s telling her the truth—so she’s going to dig it up herself. Smart, stubborn, and dangerous when cornered, Caoimhe isn’t the girl Ciarán remembers. She’s something else now. The kind of girl who doesn’t wait to be saved. The kind of girl who saves herself.

Now they’re both on the run. Bound by a shared past and a future soaked in blood. She wants revenge. He wants redemption.

But the truth?

Neither of them are walking away clean.

REVIEW: COWBOY is the fourth instalment in Brooke Summers’ contemporary, adult FURY VIPERS MC: DUBLIN dark, MC romance series -a spin off from the author’s FURY VIPERS MC. This is Ciaran aka ‘Cowboy’, and Caoimhe Mallee’s story line. COWBOY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. An important information from the previous story lines are revealed where necessary. For fans of Brooke Summers, there is an ongoing cross-over with the author’s characters from MADE and the HOULIHAN MEN OF DUBLIN Irish Mafia series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers from more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Ciaran, Caoimhe, Dylan) following several timelines, COWBOY focuses on the search and rescue of our story line heroine. At sixteen years of age, Ciaran, and his best friend Dylan Mallee, worked for an organization known as The Agency but one of their assignments ended with Dylan dead, and his sister Caoimhe on the run. Years would pass, messages sent, until the day Ciaran discovered Caoimhe was a victim of human trafficking. Now a member of the Fury Vipers MC, Ciaran would aid in the take down of the people involved, rescuing the woman he has always loved but a woman who is no longer the person he used to know. Desperate to find the people responsible, a familiar face resurfaces, and our couple know that payback is going to be dangerous and deadly.

The world building covers several years as Caoimhe Mallee finds herself shuttled from place to place, owner to owner always protecting those unable to protect themselves. Caoimhe has no idea that Ciaran is desperate to locate our story line heroine, a woman who is determined to survive one way or another.

The relationship between Caoimhe and Cairan is a best friend’s younger sister but a relationship that is all but destroyed when Caoimhe is abducted. Cairan never stopped looking for our story line heroine, and Caoimhe knew that one day, Cairan would be the man to own her heart. The $ex scenes are passionate but limited and mostly implied.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and dangerous secondary and supporting characters including the return of Connor aka Bozo and his wife Grainne, Jerry Houlihan, as well several members of the Fury Vipers MC. We are introduced to housekeeper Maria, Caoimhe’s brother Dylan, and five year old Saoirse. The requisite evil has many faces.

COWBOY is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, greed and obsession, family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is gritty, edgy and dramatic; the romance is limited but impassioned; the characters are desperate, dynamic and broken but healing.

They call me The Silencer.

My job? Take out anyone who threatens the Houlihan gang. No questions, no mistakes.

I’ve been raised in bloodshed, taught to kill without remorse.

I’ve never hesitated about anything—until I met her.

Clodagh. The girl my father stole years ago, the girl whose family he left in ruins. She survived him, survived the nightmares he left her with. And now, she’s the one thing I can’t get out of my mind.

I should be the last person she wants, but there’s a fire between us that neither of us can resist. She knows who I am, and she knows what my father did.

But the danger pulling us together is nothing compared to the darkness chasing us down.

Because my father knows about us, and he’s coming.

The past is catching the present, and when it does, I’ll be forced to choose.

Will I kill to protect the woman I love—even if it means putting down my own blood?

This is Emmanuel Dellinger aka the Silencer, and Clodagh O’Rourke’s story line. THE SILENCER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Clodagh O’Rourke is is best friends with Lisa Turner (The Cleaner #2)

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers. Some of the events of THE SILENCER cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book two THE CLEANER.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Emmanuel and Clodagh) covering several years in the life of our story line couple THE SILENCER follows in the aftermath of the abduction and abuse of our story line heroine. Emmanuel Dellinger’s father was an animal, and his kidnapping of Clodagh O’Rourke, an eleven year old girl meant Emmanuel lived with the guilt of his father’s sins. Over the years, Emmanuel would find himself following the young woman he would grow to love but his need for revenge marked Emmanuel as a powerful assassin, The Silencer for the group known as the Houlihan Men of Dublin. Throughout the years, Emmanuel would make a name for himself whenever someone powerful had been betrayed but his years long, continued focus on his father’s victim would lead to an affair, a romance, and his own happily ever after. As the threats against the Houlihan Men of Dublin, the Gallagher Irish Mafia and the Fury Vipers MC becomes personal and connected, the crew must round up the troops to protect the most vulnerable and the woman who hold their hearts.

The world building is detailed and complex covering several years in the life. From the Gallagher Crime Family (Made Series), to the Fury Vipers MC, everyone will become a target of the group known as the Boston Elite Syndicate, an organized crime group that is determined to gain control through power and murder.

The relationship between Emmanuel and Clodagh begins from a distance as Emmanuel’s guilt about his father’s crimes begins to eat away at our story line hero. Determined to protect Clodagh, Emmanuel finds himself guardian and lover of the woman with whom he will fall in love but saying that, I did not feel the heat or sexual attraction between our couple,-it felt rigid and presumptive. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of familiar, energetic and powerful secondary and supporting characters including Stephen Maguire and Jessica Grace (The Eraser #1) , Maverick O’Hara and Lisa Turner (The Cleaner #2) ;Handler and leader of the Houlihan Men of Dublin Jerry Houlihan; several members of the Gallagher Irish Mob; Fury Vipers MC, The Agency; and the Boston Elite Syndicate. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE SILENCER is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession and madness, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and raw; the romance is spicy; the characters are lively, edgy and dynamic.

Hoping to reconnect, Rogue knows he broke the only woman he would ever love, a woman who is struggling to move on from the past. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

We are introduced to several members of the Saints Outlaws MC including Ghost, Storm, Savage and Hades, as well as Willow’s best friend Natalie: sister Ivy, and Ivy’s man Lochlann. The requisite evil has many faces.

ROGUE’S RECKONING is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, heart break and mistrust, acceptance and love. The premise is emotional, dramatic and dark; the characters are dynamic and determined ; the anguish-filled romance is destructive, raw and tragic.
