~ Synopsis ~
Armed
with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the
bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared
for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a
stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer
her gratitude. Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was
supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let
her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran.
Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is
getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his
criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly
realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it
is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move. Maybe it's
because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from
everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River
Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone. And River isn't
the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

~ Excerpt ~
I inhale sharply, the air hissing through my gritted teeth. I
watch him lay the long cylindrical tube down in the grass with careful
movements and dread washes over me.
Jesus, Aengus. You’ve gone too far this time.
Hopping to his feet, he snatches up the satchel and charges
toward me, his cell phone in his palm, his head revolving as he scans the
emptiness around us. I square my shoulders and brace myself for a collision
with his temper, as swift and nasty as a black adder’s bite.
“Are you insane?” I bark when he’s within easy earshot.
The glint in his eyes—the color of an overripe avocado,
beginning to rot—would suggest exactly that.
“You said no one would get hurt.”
“Do you see anyone around to get hurt?” he snarls, continuing
past me, punching keys into his phone. “You’ve got exactly sixty seconds to get
the fuck out of here, River.” He takes off at a light jog, not waiting to see
if I’ll follow.
Because I always have.
Oh, fuck me. A current of adrenaline shoots
through my core. I glance down at my watch. One minute. Less, now. Fifty-five
seconds, give or take. The muscles in my thighs twitch, ready to tear after
Aengus because there’s nothing else for me to do. But a lot can happen in just
sixty seconds. My conscience keeps me grounded, my wild eyes scouring the paths
around me for signs of life. A jogger bobs along in the distance, so far away
that I can’t be sure whether it’s male or female. Otherwise, I see no one.
I glance at my watch again, my heartbeat doing double time with
each second that passes. Only forty-five remain before I look damn guilty to
whoever finds me here. Unless I rat out Aengus— which will never happen—I’m as
good as locked up for this.
I need to run.
Except . . . that perimeter set isn’t wide enough. If someone
should come around the bend, cut across the field . . . But what can I do,
really?
Thirty seconds. Beads of sweat trickle down my back. I need to
get the hell out of here. Now.
I turn, intent on going back the way I came. But movement
catches my eye and my stomach drops as I watch the very thing I just feared
unravel before my eyes. A girl runs through the field, her attention
alternating between her wrist and the unfolded map within her grip, her brow
pulled tight with worry.
She’s clearly a tourist.
She’s clearly late for something.
And she’s heading directly into the blast radius of the pipe
bomb that’s about to explode.
I’m out of time. I don’t have a choice.
I run. As fast as my legs can carry me, I run.
See where it all began…….
