Falling for "Maddening Moira" O'Malley was the unexpected highlight of Luke O'Brien's Dublin holiday. So when she pays him a surprise visit to Chesapeake Shores, Luke is thrilled -- at least at first he is. A fling with this wild Irish rose is one thing, but forever? Maybe someday he'll be ready, but not now while he's entirely focused on establishing a business that will prove his mettle with his overachieving family.

Given Luke's reaction, Moira has some soul-searching of her own to do. Scarred by her father's abandonment, she wonders if Luke, with his playboy past, is truly the family man she longs for. Adding to her dilemma, she's offered an amazing chance at a dream career of her own.

Deep down, though, Moira knows home is the real prize and that love can be every bit as enchanted as a summer garden.
