I don’t want a wife. I don’t want a prisoner. But she just became both…

Seven years ago, Hadleigh Castille fell into my bed and never left my heart.
Then she disappeared and my hunger for vengeance was born.
My body wasn’t the same after that night.
She left for war, but I lived a daily life of blood and violence for the Irish Mob.

Now, I’ve risen to power in my own right, but to keep my crown I must align with the enemy.
When he presents his sister to me as a bride, my heart takes a tumble.
The woman I knew, the siren I never got over isn’t Hadleigh Castille, Navy Lieutenant.
She’s the missing Greek Princess, Ava Zervas.

Only, she’s not a princess at all.
She’s tough, brash, mouthy, and hates me more than her brother at the moment.
She’s my weakness, but I’m her downfall.

She thinks I’ll let her go in six months.
She doesn’t know the meaning of obsession and desire.
Until now.

Brutal Collateral is Book 1 in the Brand-New Irish Mafia Series: Quinlan Empire.

This exciting new dark mafia series features the Quinlan Brothers from the Astoria Royals Series who also first appeared in Rebel Billionaire (November 2020).

What a wild ride! Deborah Garland starts her new series off with a bang and I am along for the ride! It's fantastic. Yes, it's morally gray, but it's a phenomenal story. Ava was sent to the US Navy to be saved from being sold for her father's debts. Here she becomes the fierce killer she is. But one night, she met Griffin, the next head of the Irish mafia and has a one night stand that neither can forget. When it comes time to make a deal with Greek mafia, Ava's brother offers her to Griffin as his new wife. Little did these two know they would ever see each other again. But is it all flowers and chocolate? Garland works in humor, dirty talk, danger, and ways to showcase just how incredible they both are. Spicy and passionate, dark and dangerous, I was all in on this listen and now I can't wait to hear what comes next in the Quinlan Empire.

Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden and Derek Duvall are the story tellers and WOW. The attitude, the danger, the passion, it's all there with each one, bringing the characters alive. Rivers creates the best strong woman that is Ava/Hadley. Arden is so good as Griffin, dirty talking leader and Duvall pops in with a few cameos letting me know just how good the upcoming books are going to be. I loved their story telling!

Love the start to the series!

I ended up reading the book instead of listening to it. The MFC narrator was awful and hard to listen to. Overall good story, I’m looking forward to the next one. Hopefully there’ll be another person doing the narration or I’ll end up reading it instead.

MMC narrator was yummy.

I devoured this book!!! I had high hopes from the clips I was hearing, but it was so much better then I expected! I absolutely love the fmc and how she's such a bada**. She's not what you typically find in a mafia book, she's so much better. This book has everything. She blended dark mafia with comedy, strong characters, and tons of spice. Of course the narrators did a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life. Job well done for everyone involved with this masterpiece 👏

DEBORAH!!!! I NEED MORE!!!!
