Ian McCown is bored, pure and simple. His life, of late, is nothing but work and drudgery, it seemed and then, Katelyn Fahey came into that life and out of the blue, things perked up. Katelyn with her curvy figure and wild red hair and deep-set smoke eyes that looked into a man's soul. That Irish temper heats Ian's blood. Life would never be boring with that one, he sensed. Trouble is, she is the sister of one of his closest friends, and Charles Fahey guards his little sister vigilantly...her reputation and her heart. Is it worth the trouble to lose a long-time friend? No, of course not but it is very difficult to get that woman out of one's head, Ian is learning the hard way.. Convincing Katelyn to his way of thinking will not be easy but Ian is determined to experience the beautiful enchantress. And having done so, he does not regret that decison in the least. Kate is everything a man could ever hope or wish for in a woman. And more. But then, an old lover comes back into his life. Ian is confused and torn between the two females. Why is he risking the happiness he found with the strong-willed Irish lass who captivated him so. Ian has no answers but he must find them...and quickly before Katelyn goes from his life permanently.
