Creatures in the Night

What’s worse than marrying a man that doesn’t want you?
Being on the chopping block like a sacrificial lamb.

Noah
Though his family ties ran deep, Noah Murphy hadn’t become second-in-command of the O’Brien Crime Syndicate because of his cousin. Intelligent, ruthless, and with an apathetic personality, he was the perfect angel and devil on the family’s shoulders, and he wasn’t afraid to call things as he saw them, or to do what needed to be done in order to keep his family at the top of the food chain.
Nonetheless, with dynasties changing, the world evolving, and new threats popping up at every turn, Noah is very aware that animals only survived in the wild if they were willing to adapt to change, and change is something that Noah is very good at. In fact, the man doesn’t even blink an eye when he agrees to marry a woman that he’s never even met.

Shea
Though her family ties ran deep, Shea Burke was still as independent as they came, happy to have created a career and life all her own. Smart, capable, and dedicated, she was one of the best nurses at the hospital, and helping people really was her specialty. Despite all the credit always going to the doctors, she knew her worth, and she was happy doing something that she loved.
Nonetheless, with the sudden news that everything is not what it seems, Shea finds herself faced with a decision that really isn’t a choice at all, and it only gets worse when she realizes that the spider’s web that she’s trap in is a lot bigger than she’d originally believed. In fact, it’s big enough to safely trap more than just her future; it’s big enough to trap her very soul.
When you realized that some secrets are more dangerous than others…
As Noah spends more and more time with his new wife, he quickly begins to realize that there’s more to Shea Burke than he’d originally given her credit for. Unfortunately for him, he’s not sure if there will ever be any coming back from the damage that’s already been done.
As Shea spends more and more time with her new husband, it doesn’t take her long to see Noah Murphy for what he really is, and it’s rather clear that his reputation isn’t an exaggeration. Unfortunately for her, she’s stuck in their marriage whether she wants to be or not.
When the unthinkable happens and Shea is attacked, Noah will do everything and anything that it takes to find out who is responsible for daring to harm his wife. However, as secrets unravel and the truth comes out, the real enemy is a lot closer to home than either of them had thought.
