The problem is, he’s only in town for six months, and happily ever after isn’t in this world traveler’s vocabulary. Julie’s worked hard to get her life in a good place – dropping substantial weight and getting a great job at her friend’s bakery.

After years of danger as a soldier and a spy, Lorcan fled to tiny Rockland, Maryland for some boring downtime. He didn’t count on meeting someone who could ignite his libido and soothe his damaged heart, and their passion soon leads to deeper feelings. But can Julie convince Lorcan he has more to offer her than just his wicked Celtic kiss? less
