WTF do you do when your boyfriend has an affair… with another guy?
Amelia
Fall for someone on the other side of the world, of course, and Garrett seems like the perfect distraction. After months of online face time, I take the plunge and fly over to surprise him. Oh, I surprise him alright, but his cute little wife isn’t quite so pleased to see me.
I'm starting to think it must be something about me.
So, now I’m alone in the middle of Dublin, wondering how it all went so wrong. All the guys I meet turn out to be douchebags. I’m swearing off men—at least, that was my plan until he sat next to me at the bar.
The moment those intense green eyes stray my way, I cave in. The more time I spend with Rory, the more I like him. But in the back of my mind, I’m leery. How is he any different to the rest of the guys I’ve fallen for?
Seems they all let me down eventually.
Rory
I get recognized wherever I go... in Ireland, at least. I’m a famous music star, but I don’t crave the limelight. Just for once, I want to be with someone who likes me, just for me, and not my money or fame.
The moment Amelia flashes that sexy smile at me, I’m hooked on those luscious lips. And, when I learn why she’s in Dublin, I’m determined to show her us Irish guys aren’t all bad.
I like her a lot, but breaking down her defenses is harder than I thought. I’m up for the craic with her, and if I can get her to let her guard down, I’ll show her I’m different—that I’m not like all the other guys who’ve hurt her before.
But, maybe I’m no better than them? She has no clue who I really am, and the more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to tell her the truth.
I know I need to be the one who tells her. If she finds out on her own, it’ll break her heart all over again, and that’s the last thing I want to do to this beautiful lass. Views: 93
