Shaun Bell, a divorced workaholic, spends all his time tending bar in his pub—Bell's Irish Pub—in London. As the first book of five in the bestselling Irish Kisses series, it was written to fit within the over two hundred book, multi-author series, 1Night Stand. Shaun's ready to love again, but the women who visit his bar appear to only be interested in his infamous Irish cocktails! On the advice of his darts team, over a tanker or two of Beamish, he applies to 1Night Stand matchmaking agency, to get back into the swing of things, so he will be able to fully enjoy the company of a woman, specially chosen for him, by the Madame Evangeline who strongly believes that if you put the right two people together for just one night, anything is possible... Rachel Taylor has issues. Her father broke her mother’s heart with his cheating, and Rachel swore never to let that happen to her, but one ruined relationship after another and she’s realized she's got to get over being closed off to men. Perhaps a one-night stand is just the baby step she needs to begin to build trust again. A match seemingly made in heaven...until morning rolls around—and Shaun can't bring himself to say good-bye. Can he win her over with his secret weapon, a Sweet Irish Kiss, or is Rachel still too scared to love?
