“Let's see if you can keep up, Irishman.”

After a tragic assault as a teenager, Norah Grady doesn't talk to men, let alone challenge them to a drinking contest. She especially doesn't challenge the hot Irish soccer player to a Guinness drinking contest.

Until she does.

Finding herself as the object of Eamon Kennedy's attention isn't nearly as upsetting as she thought it would be. In fact, the more time she spends with him, the more she steps out of her comfort zone.

He might just be the one to help her heal.

Eamon Kennedy left Ireland after his fiance betrayed him. When UNCW offered him a spot on their soccer team, he jumped at the chance. After having his heart broken, he has zero intentions of falling in love again.

Until he does.

A routine night at O'Nelly's Pub turns interesting when a red-haired beauty challenges him to a drinking contest. Now he can't stop thinking about her. With a little meddling from Paddy, the pub owner, the two are forced into close proximity.

This lass might be the one to change his mind on love.
