Promising Love - Ohlin, Sara

. .

Résumé :
When a glamorous spa owner seduces the grumpy neighborhood bartender, passion smolders... Ruby Naylor, confident, successful proprietor of Spa La La, has been crushing on Lachlan MacGregory for ages and finally throws herself at the grumpy bartender as he's helping her tipsy butt home to her apartment above his pub. Ruby is the only woman Lachlan has ever loved-from afar. When she makes a pass, he finally admits he's wanted her for a long time. He leaves her that night with three promises-a kiss, a special connection between them and an epic tomorrow. Unfortunately, when tomorrow arrives and Lachlan is smacked with the knowledge that she's already in a relationship with two men, he feels he has nothing to offer her. His day gets worse when his addict father is on his doorstep again, demanding money. The thought that he could end up sick and miserable like his father eats at Lachlan, making him focus on what has never let him down, his successful pub in the burgeoning Corvallis neighborhood. Learning that Ruby is not taken, Lachlan finally goes all out to win her back. With his heartfelt apology, it's easy for Ruby to forgive him-she believes in joy, in romance, in happy ever after. What she never expected was how vulnerable Lachlan could make her feel. Can their love withstand life-shattering events to lead them into a beautiful future?
