    Summary

    In the unofficial War Diaries of the SAS, Eoin McGonigal’s first postwar mission with SAS 1 was officially recorded as Operation Crèche. But for the few who were there and many who were not, when the story was told in barracks and mess rooms, it was referred to as ‘Paddy Mayne’s Honeymoon Tour’.

    Mention of the adjective fucking was optional, but encouraged.

    Summary

    Eoin has always thought — or maybe wished — that he’ll be able to tell the moment he meets the love of his life. Their eyes will meet, and it’ll be a sudden realisation, a flash of lightning, and he’ll simply know. He’ll know, and they’ll be able to start their lives together right away, because Eoin McGonigal is a man of many virtues but patience has never been one of them.

    He meets Paddy on a Friday.

    There is no realisation, no lightning. Eoin doesn’t even know his second name. All he gets is a nickname, the vague sense that he’s forgetting something, and a moderate to extreme level of attraction toward the man who had been sitting in front of him.

    If he’d been told Paddy’s second name, maybe it could’ve explained all the other things away. Maybe then he would’ve remembered where exactly he knew him from, and the day he’d had that feeling, lightning and all, all those years ago.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s only right that he finds himself in Belfast, a city tense with the start of something that promises bloodshed. His da, God rest his sweet soul, was a life-long Orange Order man, so this should be the perfect opportunity: the war Paddy was born ready for and something to fucking do.

    The trouble of it is, Paddy hates the RUC, and he’s already been barred from most of the pubs in East Belfast.

    OR: Paddy Mayne doesn’t care for sectarian politics, at least, not until he meets a certain Catholic boy who loves to court trouble.

    Summary

    McKenzie Stirling was never meant to wear a uniform, never meant to carry a rifle or light a fuse. But with a forged name and a cropped haircut, “Mac Campbell” slips into the ranks of David Stirling’s mad experiment in the desert. Among the rogues and misfits of the newly-formed SAS, Mac finds herself running circles around the men, building bombs with Jock Lewes, and catching the sharp eye of one Blair “Paddy” Mayne.
    What begins as banter between soldiers becomes something more dangerous and even more impossible. Across many countries, Mac and Paddy orbit one another through fire, smoke, and shadows. She is a soldier by day, Stirling’s sister by blood, a secret kept tighter than any mission file. He is a poet with a rifle, feral and reckless, drawn to her like a moth to flame.
    They were made for war. But what happens when war is no longer enough?
