Dirty Irish - Magan Vernon - Murphy Brothers #3
Worse book EVER, no HEA,
FYI- not a romance novel
His goal - dream - purpose, to play for the All Blacks,
THAT's the only possible HEA.
girl dint even like the Haka, come on, guaranteed to jump start little ol' ladies ovaries!!
~ the Billionaire clawing his way up from nothing, his dream to be in a position to carry out revenge on those that wronged him,
The girl prevents him from his bitter revenge ... HEA
he still achieved the dream,
Magan Vernon did not allow Sean Murphy to achieve his.
Leah is the girl no mother wishes for her son...
she's a dream ripper.
-dnf- thanks to GR reviewers
