Since We're Here (The Hart Sisters #3)

Maddie Hart has lost nine restaurant jobs since dropping out of college a decade ago, all because of nine relationships gone wrong. When she finds out number ten is cheating right before visiting him in the Caribbean, Maddie impulsively changes her destination flight (but not the contents of her suitcase) to Ireland, where she’ll hide from her family and plan her older sister’s pre-wedding Irish road trip. Ex-pro soccer goalkeeper Patrick McNulty is back home in the seaside town of Dingle, Ireland. He’s got his priorities be there for his aging parents, support his sister and nieces, and take over the family pub and brewery. None of that includes dating, because after his disastrous engagement to a girl who’s part of the rival brewery family, Patrick is done with relationships. He’s an empty shell of a man, just like she said. When the gorgeous American tourist—who asked him to kiss her in the pub the night before—turns out to be the same woman emailing for help planning her sister and his best friend’s road trip, Patrick vows to keep it platonic. But when his pub manager quits, Maddie begs to help. After spending time together, their sizzling chemistry leads them to sleep together just once to get it out of their systems. But once is not enough for either of them. Maddie’s time in Dingle is limited, and Patrick needs to stay focused before everything unravels. The road trip is the last chance they have to figure is love worth all the heartache?
