Description
Bereaved, broke and recently dumped, Orla O'Shea thinks life can't get any worse. That is until, after a year of not paying her mortgage, the banks move in, and the only way she can save her home is to ask her eccentric Aunt Imelda for a loan.
Imelda readily agrees to help her niece, but on one condition - she must move to the tiny island of Inisheer for a year. With a population of 249, the majority of whom are drawing their pension, Orla thinks she's in for a bleak winter of loneliness.
That is until he arrives...
Sean McFury: The Infamous.
MMA fighter Sean is Ireland's most famous sports star, a multi-millionaire and occasional underwear model to boot. He's tall, handsome, has the body of a God -- and he's also an arrogant jerk. When he arrives in Inisheer, licking his wounds from a humiliating defeat, Orla instantly takes a dislike to the cocky celebrity.
However, as destiny may have it, Orla and Sean find themselves crossing paths again and again on the tiny island and sparks soon begin to fly.
Can these two lost souls find love on an island, or will the arrival of Sean's manager and supermodel ex-girlfriend put a halt to their budding romance?
This standalone romance is full of fun, giggles and an obligatory happily ever after!

Also published on Too much time, and too little.I felt like I needed a palate cleanser after the third instalment of The Seven Sisters saga. I was still too full of Star and Flora’s stories to dive right into CeCe’s world. And I’m also conscious that after finishing book 4 I’ll have to wait for about a year for the next one, and that’s going to be a bummer (I’ve since decided to wait with book 4 until Christmas so I know I have something to look forward to reading during the holidays).Anyway, Is
