Award winning, Bestselling, Author Blue Saffire presents
Brooklyn : Kings of New York Series
Deja
I still remember the day Cole went from being just my best friend’s brother to being the man I couldn’t stop dreaming of. Before that day I never thought of him that way or thought I stood a chance.
However, to my surprise he whispered his secret in my ear right before his older brother pulled him away. After that night I thought things would happen between us, but they disappeared and my life changed forever.
Now, here he is. Looking for me as if I’m the one lost. I want to ignore him, but I don’t know if I can. That is until I let him in only to get burned.
Brooklyn
My sister’s best friend has always had me in the palms of her hands. Her name is tattooed on my heart and ever present on my lips. She’s crazy for thinking I could ever want anyone other than her.
There has never been a way to hide how I feel. I thought I could but quickly found out I wasn’t hiding a thing. My brother and grandfather knew from the start.
That’s why they hid her from me without saying a word. I’ve always been a danger to her because if she’s around I want to be near her.
There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for DJ. She’s my one addiction. My obsession. The one I’ve started a war for. The one I’ll protect with my life.
Her presence in my life has always been explosive. Why would that change now? After all, we love playing with fire. We both know how to handle the heat, but will we understand how to handle being King and Queen?

PREFACE
Wedding Blast
Deja
I stand in the mirror looking at myself in my wedding gown. This is one of three. One for tonight and two for ….
I turn as Tasha places a hand on my forearm. She looks me in my eyes with concern. I already know what she’s thinking.
I’m okay with this.
“I have so much respect for you. You know I love you like a sister, right?” she says as she holds my face between her hands while she presses her forehead to mine as we stand in the bridal suite the girls created for me here at the manor in Dublin.
“I love you too. I’m doing nothing you guys wouldn’t do for me.”
“I thought LaSalle was lying when he told me what you two planned to do. You and Brooklyn were made for each other.
“This is crazy. Balls to the wall doesn’t have to be your preset. We could have handled this a different way. We still can,” she replies, looking me deep in my eyes.
“What fun would that be? Besides, I know a little boy who says this is the way. I get two, one covered in red, the other in white. Irish bells toll for death, wedding bells ring on a Scottish night,” I repeat the words Sammy told me.
Tasha sighs. “But the blue eyes haunt the night as she stands out of sight. Yeah, yeah, the boy was singing the same thing all last night.”
“That bitch is making my ass itch. I can’t wait for Misha to pull a blade across her throat,” Misha’s wife says.
“You and me both,” Tasha mumbles.
“This will bring us closer to the end. Ya wait and see.”
“This should all be over already. Enough is enough. Haven’t we sacrificed enough? This isn’t right,” Pam says.
“Everyone will be safe. The children and our families will be protected. I have done everything to make sure everything happens as I was told,” Sim says.
“I know ya have, love. Breathe, ladies. I know what I’m in for. Ye all are taking the joy out of me wedding day. Please, can we finish getting me ready?”
“Your wedding day,” Tasha snorts. “How are you so calm? I told LaSalle you were crazy.”
She rolls her eyes and snorts. “He laughed at me. Then he told me to think about who your best friend is.”
“Hey, stop trying to act like you don’t live in Crazy Town with the rest of us. You might hide it well, but you live right on our street and have tea parties with us every week,” Val says from behind me as she fixes my veil.
“Shops with me often,” Dean sings as she sits with a huge gift box resting on her lap.
“I know that’s right,” Val says.
“DJ, this is for you. Will you come open it?” Dean says, pointing to the box with a huge smile on her face.
I turn and go to sit next to her in the spot she pats beside her. She helps me slide the box into my lap. With excitement coursing through me, I lift the lid off the gift.
“You didn’t think we would let you do this without the right equipment, now did you?” Dean says.
“But how—”
“I might have let it slip that you asked me for adjustments. Not to Cole, but I was talking to Val and Tasha as they made the same request and ...” Sim trails off and begins to chew on her lip.
“I’m glad she did say something. We all know you ain’t shit with two Glocks in your hands.”
I glare at Val and roll my eyes. I’m not even going to go there with her about this again. Not everyone can be freaking John Wick. I get things done when it counts. We all know this.
“This is your something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” Dean says ignoring the rest of them.
“Borrowed? How is it borrowed or blue?”
Dean lifts the rifle with the airholes from the box as if weighing it in her hands. “It’s borrowed because this is one of my favorites. I want it back. It’s new and blue because Lovie modified the trigger. Making it old but with a little something new. It still works like a dream, trust me.”
I take the rifle and examine the matte-blue-finished trigger. Lovie never fails to amaze me. This is a work of art.
“Well, I say yer ready to get married, ya are,” Laoise says.
I look to Dean’s mother-in-law and smile. She gets me. One is enough.
Brooklyn
“Do you, Cole O’Brien, take this woman to forever be the love of your life?” Uncle Joe says.
I grin at the words Deja and I decided to use for this night. They suit us and who we are. As I look down into her brown eyes, my heart fills with so much love for her.
