Romance fueled by clashing ambitions and undeniable chemistry

Publisher Description

Archaeologist Natalie Sullivan is determined to find a lost city in Ireland. But NFL star Mike O'Connor is standing in her way…

Natalie Sullivan is on the verge of a breakthrough most archaeology grad students only dream of: discovering a lost city. Her research points to a farm in Ireland, but to excavate she needs permission from Michael O'Connor, an NFL running back.

Mike's public persona is so charming and good-natured that Natalie figures getting his cooperation will be a breeze. So she's not prepared to deal with the arrogant and adamantly opposed man she meets in person. Or the way one look from him sends shivers down her spine.

When Natalie travels across the Atlantic for her research, she finds herself sharing an inn with Mike, who has come to Ireland in search of his roots. The more she gets to know him, the harder it is to deny her attraction to the sexy sports star. Yet she's not sure if she can follow her heart without losing sight of her dreams…
