Worlds Apart

I just wanted the women in my life to give me a peaceful Irish existence. Until she walked into my pub and peaceful flew right out the window.

I knew the second that she sat down at my bar I'd be adding her to the list of women who knew how to drive me nuts.

The current list wasn't long. I didn't have time for long.

Between my two sisters, my ex, my daughter, and trying to dig the family pub out of near-bankruptcy, I didn't have the time or the interest to add in dating. 

I liked being labeled the broody alpha around here anyway. Kept everyone right where I wanted them. 

Far away. 

But actress Samantha Lane sat down in my pub and tested every last piece of reason I had left.

But after coming to her rescue over and over again, (my words, not hers), I started to see there was more to this woman than I had initially thought and maybe, just maybe, my list had room for one more.

Of course, the road to love in Ireland didn't leave any room for mistakes and if there was one thing I knew about myself, it was that I sure knew how to make a lot of those.
