When life keeps knocking her down, can the love of a younger man be the one thing that finally lifts her up?

When Chef Lauren Andrews's career implodes on national TV, it feels like just another blow in a life full of them. With bills piling up and her dreams in tatters, she takes the first job she can find: a three-month gig cooking for a rugby team on the other side of the world. She's in Dublin for her career, not to fall in love—especially not with Donal Casey, the team's rookie hooker.

Donal Casey is the ultimate charmer—cocky, brash, and always ready with a flirtatious grin. But beneath that swagger lies a secret he's kept from everyone: he's still a virgin. It's not that he doesn't want to have sex, but after watching his famous father's life unravel from reckless hookups, Donal is determined to wait for the right woman. But convincing Lauren he's serious? That might be the hardest game he's ever played.

But as they grow closer, Lauren can't shake the feeling that she's completely wrong for him. Ten years older and unable to have children, she's convinced that being with her means giving up his chance at the life he deserves. When Donal issues a surprising challenge, Lauren must decide: can she let herself be loved, or will her fear force her to walk away from the best thing that's ever happened to her?
