ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 11, 2021

Jack

I’m the son of Liam O’Reagan, next in line to wear the crown.
And when I prove myself worthy, I will RULE over the Irish Mafia.
I don’t have time for distractions—much less time for a woman who has always been the bane of my existence.
When Maeve comes back into my life, I fight like hell to resist the pull she has on me.
An attraction that has only grown stronger with time.
But, when trouble lands her at my feet, I take the opportunity to have what I truly want.
I offer her a deal. I’ll help her, but the cost will be one night in my bed.
One night of submission.
One night to have her completely at my mercy.
If only I had known my battle with Maeve would start a war.

Maeve

Jack is the only one who can help me.
Too bad, he hates me.
But I have no choice but to go to him.
It turns out, hate is a powerful motivator, and I just handed him a way to punish me.
He offers me his help—for a price. Everything in his world has a price.
One night in his bed.
He’s everything a woman would want, so this should be easy. Only, I’m a virgin, and he terrifies me.
I should run, but I won’t.
I can’t.
I just pray this one night doesn’t destroy us both.

REVIEW:MAFIA PRINCE is the first instalment in Vi Carter’s contemporary, adult YOUNG IRISH REBELS dark, erotic, Irish Mafia, romance series-a spin off from the author’s WILD IRISH series. This is heir to the East throne Jack O’Reagan, and college student Maeve Reilly’s story line. MAFIA PRINCE and the Young Irish Rebels focuses on, and introduces the next generation in the Irish Mafia.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maeve and Jack) MAFIA PRINCE follows the acrimonious relationship between heir to the throne Jack O’Reagan, and college student Maeve Reilly. Fourteen years earlier, Maeve Reilly was best friends with Jack O’Reagan’s sister Dana but Maeve was an ‘outsider, was not a member of the Family, and therefore not a suitable playmate, and in this Maeve was pushed out of Dana’s life by the man with whom she would later fall in love. Fast forward to present day wherein, college student Maeve walks into a nightmare, and the only way to protect her family, is to face the boy, now man, who destroyed her heart. Enter Jack O’Reagan, heir to the East throne of the Irish mob. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Jack and Maeve, and the potential fall-out as Maeve is fodder, and collateral damage in a war between father and son.

Maeve Reilly’s dysfunctional family is slowly destroying itself from within. Her father left years before: her mother is an alcoholic, and her brother owes thousands of dollars to a local drug dealer. In an effort to save her mother, and the brother she loves, Maeve knows that to ask for help from the Irish mob means to give up her life, as she knows it as she becomes payment for a debt owed. Jack O’Reagan has lusted after his sister’s best friend Maeve for as long as he can remember but kicking Maeve out of Dana’s life was only one step of many in Jack’s trial to take over the family crown. It is only by coincidence that Maeve is pulled back into Jack’s life, and with it, the promise of a few nights turns into something more but Jack’s own struggle with his place in the Family is about to place Maeve in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Jack and Maeve is an enemies to lovers, forced confinement / proximity affair when Maeve relinquishes her freedom to protect her brother and mother from further harm but Jack refuses to give up or give in, and demands more time with Maeve, in an effort to persuade the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate erotic and intense.

There is large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting character including Jack’s parents Svetlana and Liam (Merciless / Heartless-Wild Irish #4 & #5), Shane and Una (Vicious-Wild Irish #1), Connor’s son Shay (Ruthless-Wild Irish #2), Darragh (Fearless-Wild Irish 3) and his son Cian, as well as Maeve’s brother Declan, and their mother Jane.

MAFIA PRINCE is a story of family, power and control; of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, hope and love. The premise is gritty but captivating; the romance is tragic, aggressive but passionate; the characters are broken, haunted and wounded.

Reviewed by Sandy

My heart drums too fast as I step into the office. The lush carpet under my feet makes me want to remove my boots so as not to dirty it. The door closes, and all the sound is sucked from the room; all the air is vacuumed from my lungs as I slowly look up towards a large mahogany desk, and sitting behind it is Jack O’Reagan. He’s older, angrier, but he still has the same effect on my heart.

Fury flames through my veins along with a longing that grips my throat. Every thought I have spins out of control. His crystal-blue eyes flash with a quick light before it fades. It’s like a light bulb coming on only to burn out—a flash of recognition that gets swallowed up in a tornado of hostility.

“What do you want? I’m busy.” His deep voice is like broken shards of glass, but I’m glad of it. It pulls me out of my frozen state.

When Vi Carter isn’t writing contemporary & dark romance books, that feature the mafia, are filled with suspense, and take you on a fast paced ride, you can find her reading her favorite authors, baking, taking photos or watching Netflix.

Married with two children, Vi divides her time between motherhood and all the other hats she wears as an Author.

She has declared herself a coffee & chocolate addict! Do not judge
