Try To Love Me (Dublin Rugby #1)

He used to torment me. So why is he acting like I’m the one who got away?

I swore I’d never come back to Ireland, but when my grandfather falls ill, I trade backpacking through Bali for pulling pints in their pub in a small village outside of Dublin.

I expected shocked stares and gossip about where I’ve been all these years. 

I didn’t expect him.

Declan O’Shaughnessy was the boy who teased me mercilessly growing up. Now he’s a star rugby player who claims he wants me.

He used to treat me like I was nothing. Now he’s everywhere I go, looking at me like I’m everything. And no matter how hard I push him away, he doesn’t back down.

I don’t do roots, and I definitely don’t fall for cocky athletes like him. But under all that swagger, Declan’s hiding a vulnerability that bulldozes past every wall I’ve built. 

He says I don’t have to choose between freedom and love. That with him, I can have both. But letting him in means giving up control.

And the worst part? I kind of want to.

A high-heat, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a black cat heroine, a reformed playboy with a secret soft spot, delicious kink exploration, and a man who’s been in love from afar—until now.
