30 DAYS IN BELFAST

Gordon’s steamy romance follows a gorgeous and influential tech executive caught between two dashing Irish brothers.

Rose Ross is 32 years old and struggling to balance her obligations as the COO of her father’s tech company and her true passion for the art world. Because her father is the wealthiest Black man in the United States, Rose worries whether she can handle the pressure of Rick Ross Enterprises, as she has already given up a serious relationship to focus on work. To raise the stakes even higher, her father has asked her to succeed him as the next CEO. When her client Brianna Morrison asks if Rose can travel to Belfast to help curate an enormous charity art exhibition, Rose uses the opportunity to get away from work for a month to explore her passion. But she doesn’t anticipate the distractions that await her in Belfast, which come in the form of Brianna’s brothers, Niall and Aedan King. Equal parts charming and devilishly handsome, the brothers immediately take an interest in Rose. Since all three are staying in the family’s castle together, a tricky scenario ensues. On top of Rose’s demanding art schedule and her amorous run-ins with Niall and Aedan, there is continuous concern for her physical safety; plenty of unscrupulous outsiders are eager to see Rick Ross Enterprises fall should she disappear. When Rose’s ex-lover shows up on a whim, she must decide once and for all which man she wants—if any of them. Gordon’s novel will attract romance lovers of every stripe, especially those who prefer a bit of mystery and drama. The author’s love scenes sizzle, and her characters are well rounded in both a physical and psychological sense; she also doesn’t forget to expand on the history of Northern Ireland’s lush countryside. The book features a strong, ambitious female protagonist who is open to relationships but also knows that any love interest has to be compatible with her career—a favorable attribute in a modern romance. Despite moments when Rose has so many suitors that it can be difficult to keep track of them, this novel will likely keep its readers intellectually and emotionally engaged.

An addictive, rollicking tale of friendship, love, and lust.
