He’s the last thing she wants…but the only thing she needs.
Willa Peet isn’t interested in love. She’s been there, done that, and has the shattered heart to prove it. Ready to shake the breakup, she heads to Dublin, Ireland. But there’s a problem. A dark-haired, blue-eyed problem with a bad attitude that rivals her own. And he’s not doling out friendly Irish welcomes.
Shane Claymore just wants to race. The death of his father forced him off the Formula One circuit, but he’s only staying in Dublin long enough to sell the Claymore Inn and get things in order for his mother and younger sister. He never expected the sarcastic American girl staying at the inn to make him question everything.
But even as Willa and Shane’s fiery natures draw them together, their pasts threaten to rip them apart. Can Shane give up racing to be with the woman he loves, or will Willa’s quest to resurrect the tough-talking, no-shit-taking girl she used to be destroy any hope of a future together?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
3.5 Cocktails.
No need to fix the Unfixable.
When I last left Willa she was off to college and in a steady relationship. That was in Protecting What is His. Now Willa is a successful photographer, recently broken up with her longtime boyfriend and on her way to Dublin for 2 weeks a chance of a lifetime. Deciding that this trip is just what she needs to get over a relationship she called off. Willa’s life was never easy; having a prostitute for a mother and a sister that gave up everything just to keep her safe has left her feeling that she can never be loved because she feels broken. Until that is when she meets Shane Claymore. The last thing he wants to have his pub invaded by and American know it all. Willa by no fault of her own gets involved with the family trying to save the family bar. She also has a little fun with Shane’s young impressionable sister and forgetful mother. Shane sees right through Willa’s attitude and wants to fix what she thinks is unfixable. Shane is just what Willa needs, he is hot and he has an accent to die for. I swear I could hear it coming through the pages when I was reading. Shane and Willa have become one of my favorite Tessa Bailey couples.
I suggest reading Protecting What’s His first, although you don’t have to but it will show you more of why Willa is Willa. But either way this book was great.
