don’t have a husband to worry about.
    Bliss waved to the blond behind the cash register.
    “Are you sure? We can go to my house and talk. My husband is home today, but he knows all about us.”
    Married to a minor goddess… What must that be like?
    They stepped out onto the sidewalk. “No, I’m good. Actually, I have an appointment.”
    Bliss looked askance at her. “Really? Or are you just scared?”
    “No. I really do have an appoint—”
    She felt a thump and turned around to see that a big man had bumped into her…a big, gorgeous man.
    “Beggin’ your pardon,” he said. “I was payin’ more attention to me map than your lovely self.”
    Amber adored accents and had heard quite a few in her travels. This one was decidedly Irish. But the sparkle in his blue eyes and his dark auburn hair would have given a hint about his lineage anyway. A red streak coming out of his widow’s peak flopped over his forehead. Quite a unique look.
    Then she noticed the two women who were with him. There was a definite family resemblance, and that red streak didn’t appear as unique to him as she had thought. They all had one.
    “Are you all right?” one of the women asked.
    “Oh. Yes, I’m fine,” Amber said when she finally realized she’d been standing there mute and staring at the hot guy. “I’m sorry. My name is Amber. Are you lost? Maybe I can help.”
    “Ah,” the man said with a smile. “Amber is a beautiful name for a jewel such as yourself.”
    She grinned, completely captivated by his Irish charm. Get hold of yourself, Amber. It’s probably as much a load of blarney as any pick-up line. It just sounds better with the accent.
    “And I’m Rory. These are me sisters, Chloe and Shannon. Actually, we are a bit confused,” he said. “From what we were told, Boston Uncommon is supposed to be a bar.”
    “A special bar,” his sister said, implying…something.
    “Let me see your map,” Amber said. When she reached for it, her hand touched his and a sizzle of warmth radiated through her.
    Bliss jumped in. “I think I know what you’re looking for, but this isn’t it—anymore. As you can see, it’s now a tearoom.”
    “That’s right,” Amber said. “You used to work here. Was it a bar at one time?”
    “Oh yeah. And a special bar for sure.” Bliss winked at the guy.
    Amber was a bit put out. Wasn’t Bliss married? She reminded herself that it was none of her business, but flirting could lead to… Oh, get it together, Amber . You just met these people.
    Just then, Bliss whipped out her cell phone and brought up a picture on the screen. “I think you might like to meet my husband,” she said as she showed the photo to the Irish trio.
    They all exclaimed about what a wonderful photo it was. What a cute couple they were. And how, yes, they’d love to meet him. Maybe they were just being polite.
    “He happens to be off today, so if you’d like to come to my place, I can introduce you.”
    They all seemed excited about the idea. Weirdly so. A five-way? Amber wasn’t sure what was happening, but it didn’t really concern her. “I—uh… I have an appointment and should get going. It looks like Bliss has your situation in hand.”
    “Oh.” Rory looked disappointed. “You’ll not be joinin’ us then?”
    “Sorry.” She checked her watch. “Oh dear. If I don’t go right now, I’ll be late.” Damn. That apartment won’t be available long. If only she had time to do both—but the place was in her favorite part of town. And considering her luck with men, this one would just disappoint her too.
    She sighed. “It was nice to meet you. Welcome to America,” she said lamely.

    “Drake!” Someone was shaking him awake. “I found more dragons,” Bliss exclaimed.
    Drake sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. “I must still be dreaming. I thought you said something about more dragons.”
    “I did. Get up. They’re in the living room.”
    “Our living room?”
    She stuck a
