About this listen
To stop a brutal mafia war, I'm forced to marry a man I left tied up in a hotel room seven years ago.
Griffin Quinlan, the new head of the Irish Mafia in Lower Manhattan, is as dangerous as he is gorgeous. Brutal and calculating, he’s the last person I ever expected to see again.
Seven years ago, one night of passion brought us together, but I walked away without looking back.
Or untying him.
Now, he’s my husband and wants revenge.
Our forced marriage is meant to seal the peace between the Irish and Greek mafia families—my brothers’ idea of a truce.
To Griffin, I’m nothing more than collateral, a pawn to control his enemies. But he has no idea I’m not the same woman he once spent all night with twisting and sweating in the sheets.
The spark between us still burns hotter than the sun, but this time, I won’t be so easily conquered. Even while he’s indulging my darkest fantasies.
For six months, I’ll give him my body, and nothing more.
But with every touch, every blistering kiss to fool our enemies, I can’t deny I’m falling for him.
I thought I could see trouble coming from a mile away, but I never thought an enemy from my past would show up and destroy everything.
Or that Griffin would fight to keep me, no matter what it takes.
Brutal Collateral is Book 1 in the brand-new Irish Mafia Series Quinlan Empire.

Story
I think I always knew I was going to die young. Like I had this… silent, invisible clock ticking down to my final moments plastered above my head. Maybe that’s why I was so reckless, crazy. Why I sought after adventure. Why nothing scared me… Except, there was always this… feeling I couldn’t shake that something was in the darkest parts of every corner, under every bed, closet, or room, like a ghost watching me. Waiting to take me. My own, personal reaper. But it was always only during a lightning storm that I could see the outline of my reaper. No scythe.

It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again. Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

Story
Hockey guys are off limits—and yet, one has set me in his sights, and I have no chance of escaping. Camden Church is the guy I should’ve stayed away from. But when he mistakes my identity, I don’t correct him. I let him break all my rules. It’s a night I’ll never forget—not that he’ll ever let me. If my brother discovers our secret, he could jeopardize Camden’s pro hockey career and end it before it’s begun. Camden thinks I’m going to rat him out, but he’s wrong. I’d rather let him drag me into ruin than admit my most hidden desire: I like the dark, twisted things he does to me.

As your paralegal (and ex), I have to be honest: You’re a horrible lawyer. Honestly, the worst I’ve ever seen. You never communicate, you pile on overtime, and you’re constantly in a bad mood. Now, about those panties on your desk. No, that wasn’t a desperate cry for your attention. It was the result of a lost bet with my roommate. But if you were even half the lawyer you claim to be, you’d have figured that out without all the ego-tripping.

If I let him stay and play his wife again for ninety days, he’ll give me a quiet divorce and his family ranch—the one my inn is on. When I scoff at the idea, he offers a million-dollar bonus to help my business float through this rough patch, but only if I’m his.

Story
She's the shy girl. The one you'd never notice. But I did. I watched her, studied her. While she worked in the library, meticulously rearranging books as though she'd written them herself. I wanted her, so I made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Tell me your deepest, darkest wish... And I will make it come true. One whisper... One single wish... And I bought her soul.

But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

Story
You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth. In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.

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 love Deborah's books. She does a great job pulling me into the story and I can't help but binge them in one sitting. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Griffin and Ava. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I can't wait for the next book in series Savage Promises to be released on July 11, 2025, so I can get Shane's story.
Lucy, Joe, and Derek did an amazing job on the narration. They all really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a mafia romance, enemies to lover's romance, arranged marriage, or dark romance.

Brutal Collateral is book one in the Quinlan Empire series. Ava is the daughter to the Zervas Greek family mafia. Her father had planned to marry her off to a horrible man. Her brother hid her the only place he knew she wouldn’t be found, the U.S. Navy. She assumed a new identity as Hadley. Ava is a total baddie!! She is tough as nails and can hold her own amongst the men. One night she met Griffin at a local bar. That was the best night she had ever had. She couldn’t get Griffin out of her mind. Griffin is now one of the leaders to the Quinlan Irish mafia. He has agreed to marry the Greek princess to create peace between the two families. Griffin has not been able to forget his night with Hadley(Ava). No girl has ever come close to compare her. Both were shocked to learn that their past encounter is now their future spouse. They originally agreed to only marry for six months. Love this book can’t wait for more books in the series.
Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden and Derek Duvall did a phenomenal job narrating this book.

The story kept me on my toes and had just the right amount of suspense, heat, action and emotion.
The audio was fantastic, duet narration. Joe Arden nailed Griffin, growly voice and all, and his Irish accent was a fun surprise. Lucy Rivers and Derek Duvall really brought their characters to life, and the voices fit so well.
