“What your lawyer’s been building up the courage to tell you is that you have a huge problem on your hands.”
I shake my head, unsure where the hell he’s heading. “And what is that? Vermin? Mold in the walls? Care to be more specific?”
“Me,” Patrick says coolly.
“Call me if you need anything. I’ll be in touch,” Duncan mutters. “It was nice meeting you, Lori.” The door opens and closes with a soft thud. I can sense Patrick and I are alone, but my mind can’t quite comprehend it because the huge house is suddenly too small for the both of us and I’m having trouble sucking air into my lungs.
“You,” I say, “as in, you’re my problem?”
“I believe those were my words,” he says with a smirk. “Do you need me to explain them to you? I’m not going anywhere.”
I blink as I try to make sense of what he’s telling me.
A disgruntled employee who doesn’t want to leave the premises?
That should be interesting.
“You’re going to be a huge problem, huh? We’ll see about that, pal.” I take out my phone and before he knows what’s happening I’ve taken a picture of him. And then another, just in case.
He frowns. “What are you doing?”
“I’m taking a picture for the police records. As far as I remember, I fired you this morning, yet you’re still here.” I raise my chin, ready to stare him down if need be. Just because I’m the new boss, he can’t test my boundaries. He can’t be a jerk and get away with it.
“You still think I’m your employee?” His eyes glitter with challenge. “My name is Patrick Walsh. I’m the rightful owner of this house, and your hot arse is trespassing.”

MY REVIEW
Lori's inherited a house in Ireland. Sounds like a fantasy, but when she arrives, she finds someone there who thinks she manipulated her way into inheriting the house. Now she's living in the home, at odds with the gorgeous asshole who wants her gone. She shouldn't give into their attraction, but somehow she can't resist. But what will she do when she finds out he's the real con? That he's the one who manipulated her?
I cannot wait for book 2 now! Patrick and Lori's enemies to lovers tension was so thick, it built to levels that I knew weren't sustainable. Eventually they had to give in, and when they did - wow. They may have started off as pure antagonists, but by the end, I was cheering them on. I hope Capturing the Storm is coming soon, because I'm seriously impatient to find out how they're going to get out of the mess Bracing the Storm left them in.
