My Limerick Lad by Mazzy King

Declan
I came to Boston from Limerick when I was a lad, and grew up in my parents’ pub-style restaurant. When the economy took a hit, my father became indebted to a notorious loan shark to keep the lights on and the doors open.
To pay the loan back, I fight. Every weekend. Lucky for me, I’m the reigning champion of underground smokers, but the money all goes to the greedy loan shark…otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll hurt my Da.
One night, I spot a gorgeous, curvy woman I can’t keep my eyes off of. She doesn’t belong in a place like this.
Then I realize she’s there to watch her brother fight…me.
I’m drawn to this woman in a way I’ve never experienced before, and I can’t hurt her brother, because it would devastate her.
But now, I’ve just lost the loan shark a lot of money…and my family is in the crosshairs.
