Art major Elise Abernathy didn’t come to Ireland to fall in love. Her study abroad is only the first stop to a life of adventure. She’ll let nothing stand in her way of getting her PhD and then traveling to far-off places to study the world’s art—not even her growing attraction to the aspiring film composer who keeps invading her thoughts.

To Rory O’Clery, women are nothing but trouble. Still wounded from his ex’s infidelity, he’s vowed no woman will ever break his heart again. Under no circumstances will he give in to the immediate pull he feels toward the American who moves into his sister’s flat.
