The Irishman's Christmas Gamble: A Wager of Hearts Novella

Having risen out of the slums of Dublin to build a
multinational gourmet chocolate business, Frances “Frankie” Hogan has settled
for being respected, envied, and rich beyond belief…but never happy. She has
built a secure home within the walls of the exclusive Bellwether Club, a place
she established for self-made billionaires like herself.  She’s convinced
that nothing can ruffle the calm of her well-ordered, though lonely, world—until her past, in the form of Liam Keller, shows up
at her door.

European soccer sensation Liam
Keller has carried a torch for Frankie since their years together in their
hard-scrabble Irish neighborhood.  Frankie was the one who fed his dreams
and pushed him to reach for the elite level of his sport, even as she kept him
at arm’s length.  Their ambitions launched them in different directions,
but now Liam finds himself in New York as a coach to an up-and-coming
professional American soccer team.

Liam’s
feelings for Frankie have never faded, but their years apart have brought
complications, including a secret that could drive Frankie away. Only a Christmas
miracle can help Liam convince the woman he adores to finally gamble on love.
