His Remorseful King

Patrick “Paddy” Murphy

Secretive, Quiet, Reserved.

The mafia taught him just how disastrous secrets and lies were. Despite that, he kept the deepest, dirtiest secrets of them all. His desire for men, or rather one man—me—was only the start of them. If the family or—even worse, a rival family—found out about us, life as Paddy knew it would cease to exist.

It was as if the universe knew this and tried to keep us apart. From Army Deployments and near death experiences to a secret baby, everything that could go wrong did. I didn’t know how much more I could take, until he committed the ultimate crime.

One final act of betrayal, and he might as well have ripped my heart from my chest. There’s no going back, and he has to learn to pay the price for his mistakes.
