Part of Chesapeake Shores, book 9
First published 2012
Luke O'Brien thought his Dublin vacation romance with Moira O'Malley would stay in Ireland. The spirited Irish woman captivated him completely during his holiday, but Luke assumed their passionate connection belonged to another continent. When Moira shows up unexpectedly in Chesapeake Shores, Luke feels torn between excitement and panic. He wants her, but he also needs to focus on launching his new business and proving himself to his accomplished family. Moira faces her own crossroads. Her father abandoned the family years ago, leaving her wary of men who might do the same. Luke's reputation as a playboy doesn't help her trust him as potential husband material. When a career opportunity presents itself, Moira must choose between professional success and the possibility of love. Both Luke and Moira discover that building a life together requires more courage than either expected, but the rewards might be worth the risk.
