On Loverose Lane (Return to Dublin Street Book 1)

On Loverose Lane is an enemies-to-lovers, fake dating sports romance by Samantha Young. The narrator's new neighbor turns out to be Callan Keen, a professional footballer from Scotland. He holds a grudge over something that happened between them years ago, but the narrator is focused on advancing her company and has no time for him—despite finding him attractive. When a major client opportunity emerges, the narrator asks Callan for help. She needs a fake date; he needs an introduction to her father, a real estate mogul. They agree to a six-week arrangement with no strings attached. However, the chemistry between them proves difficult to control, and they begin an affair. As they grow closer, the narrator recognizes qualities in Callan that remind her of someone she once cared for deeply. She struggles to convince him they could have a real future together, complicated by unresolved issues from their past that threaten to derail any possibility of a lasting relationship.
