The #1 International bestselling author of On Dublin Street is back with
this witty, emotional and steamy fake-dating sports romance in which ambitious
entrepreneur, Beth Carmichael, meets her match in the grumpy football captain
who moves into the apartment above hers.
Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of
Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m
even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a
grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago.
Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next
level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I
shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits
with the grump upstairs.
When a huge client opportunity arises, circumstances force me to enlist
Callan’s help. I require a fake date and Callan needs me to facilitate a
meeting with my dad to further his own business interests.
The deal between us should be simple. Except, of course, the blazing
chemistry we’ve shared since the moment we met. We can’t deny it, we can’t
control it, and soon we’re agreeing to six weeks of no-strings-attached,
mind-blowing, steamy shenanigans.
I told myself I was too smart to catch feelings. But when Callan finally
finds out the truth about our past, he becomes the guy I used to know. And that
man is way too easy to fall for.
The problem is that Callan has vowed to never let another person close
enough to break his heart again.
It just
might prove impossible to show my stubborn Scotsman I’m worth the risk,
especially when old wounds are re-opened and threaten to wreck any chance of a
future together…
On Dublin Street Second Generation!
Beth Carmichael is - you guessed it - Braden + Jocelyn's daughter.
She's out of college and has been running her own social media managing company for a couple of years now.
Enter Callan.
They used to be an almost thing eight years ago in school. But some things happened and we can't stand each other anymore. Right?
But he's now moving into the penthouse above her.
And that's only the very start of the story.
Let the fun times begin...
Eep!Braden's mini-me is finally here!
I loved reading this.
I loved seeing all the people again - even if it got a tiny bit complifusing with all those pseudo uncles, aunts and cousins!
Beth and Callan are just perfect. They so belong together. They should've been together for years now. But things got in the way. And now we have to try again.
And we do that so adorably and funny and sparky and sweet and just...ugh. I loved this.
We have so many funny and cute moments. Football moments. Business moments. Some scary and sad moments. Just so many amazing moments. Beautiful story!
Can't wait to read Lily and Sebastian's book next!
And Baird!? I need his story too!
ON LOVEROSE LANE was the perfect first book in this new On Dublin Street Second Generation Series!
Sweet and funny and sparky and adorable and a bit sad and heartbreaking!
Run to your nearest bookdealer for your own Callan - this one is MINE!
