The O'Brien Family Series Book Two
Cecy Robson
Released April 19th, 2016
Once he was broken beyond repair.
Now this MMA contender is fighting to be a better man—for her. RT Book Reviews
proclaims that the O’Brien Family series from award-winning author Cecy Robson
“has the hottest brothers ever!” And in Let Me, it is Finn’s turn to discover
how love can heal the deepest wounds.
A mixed martial arts star on the
rise, Finn O’Brien dismantles his opponents with brutal precision. And yet
beneath his fierce persona, Finn is raw from a trauma he’s buried for years . .
. until the day his deep-rooted rage erupts and lands him in court-mandated
therapy. Finn’s not one to bare his soul, but if talking it out means meeting
beautiful women like Sol Marieles, he’ll give it a shot.
Sol is working toward her master’s
degree in psychology, and already she feels like she’s in over her head. With
an important internship on the line and a scary family situation demanding her
attention, the last thing Sol needs is Finn around to distract her. The man is
ripped and seriously sexy yet it’s his troubled side that warns her to keep her
distance. But their attraction is intense, and he clearly has the heat to see
how far and fast their passion takes them.
Alone, Finn and Sol have been
fighting to find happiness in their lives. Together, there’s no stopping them
as they face their greatest challenges—not in the ring, but in their
hearts.

EXCERPT
I
lean against the tile with my arms spread, allowing the water to beat against
my back. It’s too hot. I should turn it down, but I don’t bother. Eventually,
like everything else, the sensation fades.
I’m
not sure how long I’m in that position. A few seconds? A few minutes? But then
Easton and his trainer Yefim are suddenly there. “You got lucky, O’Brien,”
Yefim calls out, taunting me with his thick eastern European accent.
Shit.
Like all the trash talk before the fight wasn’t enough.
“Did
you hear me, you pussy?” he fires back when I don’t answer. “Did you hear me,
you goddamn coward?”
Coward? Fuck you. It’s what I think, but not what I
say, focusing instead on the streams of water that gather along my feet before
they swirl into the drain.
It
doesn’t help. The rage that’s building, the one I only manage to barely keep
in? It stirs in my gut like a heavy pot filled with hate, sin, and all the
curses my Ma would still beat my ass for saying.
“What’re
you doing?” Yefim asks.
His voice is closer, he’s drawing near. I
doesn’t matter that I’m standing here naked. He wants to be next to me. I
shudder, that feeling I keep buried drilling its way up.
“I
know about you,” Yefim says, not bothering to keep his voice low. “But everyone
knows, don’t they? Even if you don’t want them to.”
My
body shakes a little more, but it’s not from the cooling water. It’s from his
words and all that anger they trigger. Don’t
do it. Don’t go there.
“You
like to keep it a secret. Don’t you, pussy?”
Yefim
laughs when I keep my trap shut. He thinks I’m backing down, just like Easton
did before his face met the mat. “He’s crying,” he calls out to Easton. “What?
Not so tough now?”
That’s
where he’s dead wrong. Every muscle I’ve conditioned serves a purpose―to take
down those who fuck with me. And right now, Yefim is seriously fucking with me.
“You
like to pretend that it’s girls you like, don’t you?” he says. “But that’s not
true, is it? Oh, no, that’s not true at all . . .”
I
raise my chin, knowing that someone’s not leaving without bleeding, and I’ve
bled enough tonight.
Yefim
kicks at my calf. “What? Nothing to say? Can’t speak without your boyfriend
here?”
“Boyfriend?”
Easton asks, laughing. “No fucking way.”
“Yes.
Way,” Yefim insists. “Didn’t you know this little pussy takes it up the ass―”
I
punch him so hard, I feel his teeth crack against my knuckles. For someone with
decades of boxing experience he never saw me coming. But I see Easton flying at
me out of the corner of my eye. I toss him over my shoulder, slamming him hard
onto the ceramic tile floor. Like in the octagon, I throw myself on top of him,
my fists colliding against his skin.
Voices
rush forward, telling me to stop. A woman screams, but I don’t stop fighting
off the bodies trying to grab me, breaking through the arms wrenching me back.
I need to hit him―I need to feel my fists meeting his face―I need to feel something.
God
damn it. I need to feel alive.
I
don’t want the pain.
I
don’t want the terror.
But
once more, it’s all I feel.
