Bleed Me Slow

Ten years ago he left without a word. Tonight he is standing on a burning dock.

Flight nurse Nadia Vasko lands beside a burning barge on the Allegheny to save a man shot in the gut. The patient is Rory Duffy. The man waiting on the dock is his brother Cillian, the boy she held together on a Troy Hill sidewalk in 2017, who swore it was a stray bullet and vanished a week later.

Now a jar from her murdered father's stolen collection is back, with Cillian's initials on the label and a question in her father's cipher: Brother's hand? Hiding Rory for the Duffys puts Nadia between two crime families on the edge of war, and every step closer to the truth brings Cillian closer too.

He left to keep her alive. Coming back may be what gets her killed.

A second chance, the-one-who-left dark mafia romance. Book 2 of Vasko & Daughters, a complete six-book series. Intended for adult readers: explicit content and mature themes.
