Luck of the Irish

Parker, a construction worker and CPA, walks into an Irish pub after catching his girlfriend cheating. The pub belongs to Scarlet O'Hanley, who inherited it from her grandfather and runs it with a stubborn refusal to accept help from anyone.

She hires Parker on as security. Working side by side, the attraction between them sharpens, though Scarlet resists getting involved with him for as long as she can.

Luck of the Irish, originally published as Luck of the Irish: A St. Patty's Day Romance, is the second book in Lexy Parker's A Calendar of Love series of standalone holiday romances. Each entry can be read on its own.
