[Claddagh Trilogy 02] • Irish Love

**He warned me to stay away.**

But, what can you do when you fall for your best friend’s little sister?

**Ben**

The moment Rory tells me not to go anywhere near her, I naturally want to. After all, it’s just a bit of harmless flirting, right?

And when she calls to ask for my help one night, I can’t resist having a little fun with her. She thinks I’m a player, and I can’t deny it, but I want to show her there’s more to me than that.

I never thought it would happen, but flirting soon turns to burning desire. The more time I spend with her, the more I take a long, hard look at myself, and the harder I’m falling under her captivating spell. Now, I need to convince her my feelings are real.

And I can’t even begin to think how I’m going to tell my best friend about us—aka, her country music superstar brother. He warned me to stay away, and he’ll kill me, I’m sure.

**Siobhan**

I had it all planned out. It should have all been so simple.

Go to LA, see my brother, then get back to my quiet life in Ireland. Love and romance were not in the picture at all, until *he* picks me up from the airport. I can’t deny I’m attracted to him, but it’s not happening. No way could we ever work.

He’s a player.

He’s older than me.

We live an ocean apart.

And, duh… for the love of Mary, he’s my brother’s best friend.

But when I find myself stranded, he’s the only one I can call. He’s more than happy to help me out—and even more happy to remind me I owe him for coming to my rescue—but I tell myself not to fall for his charms.

I’m only there for a week, so the last thing I expect is to wake up in his bed.

*Irish Love is the second book in The Claddagh Trilogy. A contemporary short story of love, friendship and family life that can be read as a standalone, though you may want to read [**Irish Affair**](http://amzn.to/2oW27bu) first to familiarize yourself with the characters.

This book ends on a mild cliffhanger / happy-for-now, and the conclusion to Ben and Siobhan’s steamy romance will be in the third book, Irish Heart, out March 2018.*
