Читать книгу Kiss Me, I'm Irish - Jill Shalvis - Страница 7

Dear Reader,

The Sins of His Past is centered around Monroe’s, an old-fashioned Irish pub undergoing a twenty-first-century transformation. When Deuce Monroe’s professional baseball career comes to an untimely end, he returns to his hometown with the intention of taking over his father’s bar. But nothing at Monroe’s is what he expects. Vying for the ownership of the neighborhood watering hole is a sexy and daunting opponent, more threatening than any Deuce ever faced on the pitcher’s mound.

When The Sins of His Past was originally released, my son was playing Little League and inspiring me to write baseball heroes. Now I’m celebrating the book’s reissue in this anthology…just as that little ballplayer heads to college. Talk about twenty-first-century transformations! My writing has changed over the years, too. These days, my books usually include one villain and a few dead bodies, but in re-reading this novel, I remembered how much I enjoyed writing a sensual story with a conflict-rich romance driving every scene. Oh, and a baseball-playing hero.

Seamus “Deuce” Monroe is that endearing Irish mix of a wild card with a good heart and lost soul. He’s hot, he’s funny, he’s vulnerable, and he’s facing a few transformations of his own. So, I invite you to step into Monroe’s, raise a glass (or cup of coffee, depending on which team you’re rooting for) and enjoy this story about two people who have some sins in their past and love in their future.
