And when his gorgeous one-night stand turns out to be Helen’s daughter, Clio, pissed turns to horrified. From the AuthorLove and Shamrocks is the fifth book in The Ballybeg Series but it stands alone well--Happily Ever After guaranteed! I'd looked forward to telling Sergeant Sean Mackey's story since he first appeared in Love and Leprechauns. Unlike my previous heroes, Sean hates living in Ballybeg. In this book, we discover why. I wrote an early version of Clio's character several years ago in a never-to-be-published novella. The guy I paired her up with in that story was wrong for her. When Sean strolled onto the page, I knew he'd be the perfect match for Clio, and I had a lot of fun writing their story. Happy reading!

Prohibition is dead, the world is at war again, and Joe’s son, Tomás, is growing up. Now, the former crime kingpin works as a consigliore to the Bartolo crime family, traveling between Tampa and Cuba, his wife’s homeland.A master who moves in and out of the black, white, and Cuban underworlds, Joe effortlessly mixes with Tampa’s social elite, U.S. Naval intelligence, the Lansky-Luciano mob, and the mob-financed government of Fulgencio Batista. He has everything—money, power, a beautiful mistress, and anonymity.But success cannot protect him from the dark truth of his past—and ultimately, the wages of a lifetime of sin will finally be paid in full.Dennis Lehane vividly recreates the rise of the mob during a world at war, from a masterfully choreographed Ash Wednesday gun battle in the streets of Ybor City to a chilling, heartbreaking climax in a Cuban sugar cane field. Told with verve and skill,  World Gone By is a superb work of historical fiction from one of “the most interesting and accomplished American novelists” (Washington Post) writing today.**
