Celtic Brooch Series - Book Five
A Contemporary Romantic Suspense of Family, Loyalty, and the Cost of Survival
When a brooch breaks, some magic is lost.
What remains is far more dangerous.
NYPD Detective JL O'Grady arrives in Napa Valley expecting a brief escape-good wine, a family celebration at Montgomery Winery, and a chance to cheer on her younger brother at a high-stakes basketball game. For once, she plans to leave danger behind.
Instead, she walks straight into it.
A murder investigation erupts with disturbing similarities to a New York racketeering and drug case that nearly ended her career-and her life. The local authorities insist she keep her distance, but JL's instincts refuse to let go. When the threat begins to circle too close to her brother, walking away is no longer an option.
With help from Kevin Allen, the brilliant and dangerously charming CFO of MacKlenna Corporation, JL begins to uncover a web of corruption that stretches far beyond Napa. What starts as reluctant cooperation ignites into something far more personal-at the worst possible time. Because trust, once broken, is difficult to rebuild. And love does not soften danger.
JL is not alone.
She is part of the O'Grady family-a formidable clan shaped by law enforcement, military service, and loyalty that runs deeper than blood. As the investigation escalates, it becomes clear that the threat does not end with one victim, one city, or one family. The danger widens to include the entire MacKlenna Clan, binding two families together in a way neither anticipated.
With time running out and violence closing in, JL and Kevin must expose the truth before someone else pays the price. Along the way, secrets buried for years strain under the weight of choice, duty, and a love that refuses to stay contained.
There is no time travel here.
No magic to change the past.
Only the consequences of everything that came before.
The Broken Brooch is a contemporary romantic suspense that marks a turning point in the Celtic Brooch series-where the past collides with the present, new alliances are forged, and survival becomes a shared responsibility.
