GRAVE stands for: Greybreak Regulations & Assessment of Violent Entities. It’s is a covert FBI initiative that partners with reformed crime families to control and eliminate larger threats like trafficking rings, cartels, and violent networks. Operating in the gray between law and crime, GRAVE enforces order where the system falls short, where loyalty is currency, justice is controlled, and survival often means choosing the lesser evil.
The Delaney Brothers
Five ex-mafia brothers trade a criminal empire for control, building Greybreak Intelligence and partnering with the FBI’s GRAVE task force to hunt violent crime. Set in a small coastal town, this interconnected romantic suspense series blends morally gray protectors, forbidden alliances, and high-stakes danger—where loyalty is everything, trust is earned, and love is the one risk they never planned for.
Greybreak Protocol (Book 1)
She helped bury his family’s empire. Now its ghost wants her dead.
FBI GRAVE Special Agent Brylee Pratt helped to dismantle a powerful crime family and now works the fragile line between law enforcement and Greybreak Intelligence to regulate and assess other violent entities. When an informant claims the Delaney brothers’ uncle is rebuilding the operation they destroyed, Brylee takes the intel to her boss and is immediately shut out of her own case.
Then someone tries to kill her.
With no badge protection, no backup, and no one inside the FBI she can trust, Brylee runs straight to Tarrin Cove and the last man she should ever depend on.
Hudson Delaney has spent years helping his brothers build something better from the ruins of their father’s sins. As Greybreak Intelligence’s head of investigations, he trusts facts, instincts, and family. Not the FBI. And definitely not the woman who walks back into his life carrying a target on her back.
But the moment Brylee shows up, Hudson knows one thing: she’s under his protection now.
As old enemies crawl out of the shadows and corruption runs deeper than either of them expected, Brylee and Hudson are forced into a dangerous alliance where every secret cuts deeper. And every touch feels like a mistake they both want to make again. Because if his uncle really is rebuilding the empire, taking him down may cost them everything.
And this time, Hudson has something to lose.
