After helping Ireland win the World Cup, striker Ronan O'Leary spends the next year flirting with Nora Knightly, a stunning, ruthless reporter who interviewed him. Nora's the epitome of off-limits, but when she moves to Ireland to cover his football club, Ronan lasts a total of three minutes before he throws caution to the wind and asks her out.

Reluctantly agreeing to date Ronan, Nora risks her credibility as a journalist, but the irresistible footballer is willing to give up everything—including his football career—for a chance at a happily ever after with his favourite night owl he's been pining after for months.
