The Irishman's Christmas Gamble · A Wager of Hearts Novella

Having risen out of the slums of Dublin to build a

multinational gourmet chocolate business, Frances “Frankie” Hogan has settled

for being respected, envied, and rich beyond belief…but never happy. She has

built a secure home within the walls of the exclusive Bellwether Club, a place

she established for self-made billionaires like herself.  She’s convinced

that nothing can ruffle the calm of her well-ordered, though lonely, world—until her past, in the form of Liam Keller, shows up

at her door.

European soccer sensation Liam

Keller has carried a torch for Frankie since their years together in their

hard-scrabble Irish neighborhood.  Frankie was the one who fed his dreams

and pushed him to reach for the elite level of his sport, even as she kept him

at arm’s length.  Their ambitions launched them in different directions,

but now Liam finds himself in New York as a coach to an up-and-coming

professional American soccer team.

Liam’s

feelings for Frankie have never faded, but their years apart have brought

complications, including a secret that could drive Frankie away. Only a Christmas

miracle can help Liam convince the woman he adores to finally gamble on love.
