Book One in a Novella Series
Sinners. Saints. Seven Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars.
All Seathrun O’Riley (Riley) wants to do is run his pub, be a good father to his son Danny, hang out with his dog General Sherman.
But now he sits in a jail cell charged with the murder of an alleged terrorist, despite the fact that he’s never even had a parking ticket before. Mathematically gifted and raised by nuns and priests in a Catholic parish in Chicago, the presence of Providence is all around him. But Riley doesn’t have time for fairy tales such as God.
While in a long-term relationship with a gorgeous and catty Southern Belle who seeks a long-term future with him, Riley meets the love of his life in the visitation booth at the county jail. Unfortunately though, it’s the lawyer he has hired to defend his life.
The Life of Riley is a novella series that includes Guinness-drinking nuns, a hot mess named Honey who has the libido of a cage of rabbits, a 75 lb english bulldog, a smart and slightly emotionally damaged criminal defense attorney who is up against an ethically challenged U.S. Attorney who has no intention of fighting fair, and a special 12-year-old boy whose fate is spun to Riley’s.
Sinners and saints; friends and faith; life and love; and a potential payday of 720 million dollars.
Welcome to the Life of Riley.
