ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 21, 2024

I’m a killer, I do it for fun, a way to quell the blood thirstiness that lives inside me.

No one has ever been able to penetrate the walls around my blackened heart.

Except her. Jessica Grace.

I met her at the lowest point in her life.

I saw the depths of despair that shone brightly in those blue eyes.

Begging for help, pleading for solace.

It was at that moment that I found the one. My one. But she’s too young, too innocent to be tainted by my darkness.

So I stay away until fate brings us back together.

Now, she’s hurt, and I’ll do anything to protect her.

No one touches what’s mine and lives to tell the tale. I’m the Eraser.

Once I’m done with my prey, they simply cease to exist.

No traces of them are ever left behind. Vengeance is all I crave.

I’m ready to start a war with the man who hurt my wife. Nothing will stop me.

I’ll do everything it takes to keep her safe. My love. My wife. My everything.

REVIEWTHE ERASER is the first instalment in Brooke Summers’ contemporary, adult HOULIHAN MEN OF DUBLIN dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Stephen ‘The Eraser’ Maguire, and Jessica Grace’s story line. THE ERASER is a spin off/set in the author’s FURY VIPERS MC: DUBIN CHAPTERS. Some of the characters cross over

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Stephen and Jessica) THE ERASER covers several years in the life of our story line couple Several years earlier, having endured a life of terror and abuse, Stephen was conscripted into the Irish Mafia, and would become known as The Eraser, a killer who would ‘erase’ the lives of people targeted by the man in charge. Meanwhile, Jessica Grace’s life imploded the day her mother was killed, the day her father took out all of his frustrations on his teenaged daughter. Fast forward to present day wherein Stephen, having watched our heroine from afar, takes a stand, takes control and becomes protector and guardian of the woman with whom he will fall in love but discovering the years of abuse at the hands of someone meant to protect, Stephen would go in search to destroy the man who destroyed the woman he loves. What ensues is the building , age gap relationship between Stephen and Jessica, and the potential fall-out as the past returns to take revenge.

The world building follows intersecting paths as Stephen’s earlier life parallels the life of the woman he will love. Both come from abusive homes,neglectful and abusive backgrounds but Stephen has taken back control. As Jessica’s life continues to spiral out of control, Stephen steps in and steps up, claiming our heroine, as his own.

The relationship between Jessica and Stephen is an age gap romance. Stephen is approximately twice Jessica’s age, and has watched Jessica grow into a beautiful young woman but Stephen has missed the truth, and intends to get revenge for the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

THE ERASER is a story of abuse, power and control; dysfunctional family dynamics; secrets and lies, retribution, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, gritty, dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, charismatic, dynamic and broken. THE ERASER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
