Just One (In the Dark)

Daphne Jones doesn't need anyone else. Between her job as a waitress and helping her brother with his mental illness, Daphne doesn't have time for herself, let alone romance. Then tragedy strikes, and her life is irrevocably changed. Lost in the deep depths of despair, only one person steps up to help. Finnegan O'Reilly is a tough-talking boss of an Irish pub, but he knows how to sweet talk behind closed doors. Though, he hasn't done much sweet-talking lately. After a failed relationship left him shattered, Finn has had a hard time opening up to anyone. Then he meets Daphne, and he can't stop thinking about her-or their one night stand. But she keeps pushing him away and he is on the verge of giving up. When a terrible tragedy pushes them together, Finn wants nothing more than to protect Daphne from the danger that seems to follow her everywhere, but he might be too late. Will Daphne risk letting Finn into her troubled life, or will tragedy strike again? Intended for a mature audience 18+. ** Trigger Warning: This love story features mental illness and devastating loss.
