Shameless Royalty (Willow Bridge Academy Book 3)

Connor
I’ve always been shameless. I don’t apologize for who I am or the blood on my hands. I’m Connor Cunningham, the heir to Ireland’s deadliest crime family. When my father sends me to kidnap Malachi Dawson, the youngest son of the man who dared to come after my sister, I think it’ll be easy. A clean snatch-and-grab.
But nothing about Malachi is simple.
He’s fiery, stubborn, and untouched by the world of blood and bullets. But beneath those wide blue eyes and fiery red hair is someone who thinks he’s better than all this, better than me.
I’ve never been one to deny myself what I want. But falling for the enemy? Even I have my limits.
Or maybe I don’t.

Malachi
I’ve spent my life running from the shadow of my father’s empire. No tattoos, no guns, no blood on my hands—just a quiet life far from the chaos he built and everything he stood for. Away from the trouble and danger.
But trouble finds me anyway in the form of Connor Cunningham.
He’s everything I hate about this world—arrogant, ruthless, and far too comfortable wielding the power he was born into. He’s also frustratingly charming, shamelessly confident, and impossible to ignore.
I want to hate him. I do hate him. But he sees through every lie I tell, even the ones I tell myself. He terrifies me, tempts me, and makes me question everything I’ve fought so hard to bury.
How can I give in when falling for him means risking not just my heart but everything I’ve fought to protect?
