Mark - Katherine Hanratty

"My gift will be unforgettable."

Cougar -d4- Katherine has never wanted for lovers. A pretty girl connected to a powerful family has her pick of the handsome soldiers serving in her father's name. She was always faithful to her husband and anyone that suggested otherwise usually got a visit from Trash Man Han. The pretty girl is now a beautiful widow, and she takes what she wants, especially if it's young, blond, and Catholic.

Lady MacBeth -d12- She's the oldest of Cormac's children but has never been in an official position of power. Her younger brother Elias became head of the family when Cormac went into seclusion. Her husband Robert became her proxy when Elias was killed shortly before he was to go to prison. Rumors believe Katherine has struck up an alliance with her remaining brother Cillian to continue her control of Hanratty interests if he takes over as the head of the family.

Gaelic Bling -d8- The color green always seems to make its into Katherine's wardrobe. But she's a sucker for jewelry with an Irish theme. The bigger the better. Her choice for the wedding day is a shamrock broach featuring real emeralds in each of the shamrock leaves.

IRA Ties -d12- Hanratty spent her summers abroad in the home country from first grade all the way to high school. She likes to believe she was sent away to learn about her heritage but the truth is a bit more grim. While she went away to Ireland, a boy named Eamon Driscoll was sent to America. These trips were a classic hostage exchange between the Cormac Hanratty and Eamon's father, ordered because of a feud between them. Katherine and Eamon bonded because of it and Eamon is now in control of his father's interests.

Just A Girl -d4- There is a fair amount of macho bullshit posturing inside an Irish crime family. Katherine has seen it all. She mostly suffers in silence out of respect for her father, but the quickest way to set off her smoldering temper is to imply she can't do something because she's a woman.
