Blood and Black Water (The Black Water Syndicate Book 1)

Boston doesn’t forgive.

It collects.

When a routine dock inspection uncovers a crate that was never meant to be opened, Róisín Kearney finds herself at the centre of something far bigger than smuggling.

A planted ledger.

The city is shifting. Power is moving. And someone has decided Róisín belongs inside the game.

Between Eamon Vale, the man who builds empires with his bare hands, and Cillian Ward, the man who dismantles them just as easily, Róisín is forced into a dangerous alliance where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable.

But the deeper she digs, the clearer the truth becomes:

This isn’t just about contraband.

And her mother, long buried and long mourned, may have left behind the one thing every powerful man in Boston is willing to kill for.

A ledger that doesn’t record crime.

Now hunted by criminals, watched by officials, and trapped between two men who don’t trust each other but refuse to lose her, Róisín must decide what she is willing to become:

A survivor.

Because in Boston, power isn’t given.

And blood always finds the water.
