Blurb:
It is
time…

Determined to unearth the secrets lying hidden in the enchanted waters of the cove, Keelin has little time for a surly Irishman who infuriates her during the day and haunts her fantasies at night.
Inexplicably drawn to the woman who has stepped from his dreams and into his world, Flynn fights a stubborn battle against his increasing attraction for Keelin. Forces unknown have better plans for the two.
Only the secrets of the cove can show Keelin who she really is, the beauty of her mysterious power, and a love that will break the bounds of what she knows.
From New York Times Bestselling author, Tricia O'Malley, comes a new romance series set on the rocky shores of Ireland.

Excerpt:
"I
suppose I should thank you," Keelin stuttered. She tried to regain her
composure as she lifted her chin at him.
"Of
all the…how do I end up with the woman that is stubborn as all get-out?"
Flynn said to himself as he started the motor
and whipped towards shore. Keelin pulled the towel that he had handed around
her and tried to get warm.
"You
know, most women would have thrown themselves on me in gratitude. You know,
promising anything I wanted? Offers of undying devotion? Baked goods? No. You
can barely thank me." Flynn glared at her.
Keelin
stared regally at him from across the boat.
"I
am sure I would have been fine. I just needed to cut across the current is all,
and I was a bit disoriented."
"A
bit? You were a quarter mile out! You were shark bait. A goner! What were you
even thinking? Are you insane?" Flynn lost it as they motored quietly into
the cove. His shouts echoed off the walls of the empty cove and Ronan went
silent on the beach.
"Hey!
You aren't the boss of me! I'll have you know that I am a trained diver. I
study this. This is what I do."
"Trained?
Hardly! If you were trained you would know not to go diving alone and perhaps
maybe to study the waters ahead of time and know that there is a nine-knot
current that runs outside the cove. Had I not been out fishing today and heard
your cry for help you would have been gone in minutes!" Flynn cut the
motor and raged at her.
Keelin
stood up on shaky legs and yelled at him.
"I'll
have you know that I am a professional!"
"A
professional pain in the ass!"
They were
nose to nose in the rocking boat. Keelin's breath huffed out and her chest
heaved.
Flynn
sighed and laid his forehead against hers, surprising her.
"Just.
Just don't ever do that again. Please."

ReplyDeleteUsually I'm not a fan of the "hostility hiding sexual tension" trope, but this is a fun excerpt!
