Set in the outskirts of 1860's on England countryside, this tale is about a secret past, a mysterous present, and a beautiful future. And a hint of witty sarcasm, because learning to love isn't always easy, and learning to trust even harder.
Joseph McCoy cannot forget the first time he fell in love, he was still an innocent lad, poor and embarrassingly short. Twenty years later, him and his brother Nathaniel have worked hard to bring their Scottish family up from poverty and made a name for themselves in their small England village. Now a grown and not-so-innocent man, Joseph's heart is once again called to by a gorgeous set of green eyes that remind him a little too much of the woman he saw when he was a boy. Caught between a mysterious girl and his equally infatuated brother, Joseph finds himself in a rather clichéd situation. But add a few secrets and hidden pasts, a bit of jealousy, a dash of adventure and a whole lot of hormones, Joseph McCoy's life becomes anything but ordinary.

He sits in front of me, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. (Sean) "I know everything, Sky... I can help you." I have no choice... (Skylar) "Okay... What do I have to do?" One night, a stripper meets a hot suited guy. He chooses her to serve him but what happens when he decides he wants more from her? Will she give in to his touch? * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* Note: There is a photo on each chapter. I suggest you don't see it if you're not old enough. *wink* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech. Simply because it would probably get confusing if there wasn't anything that could distinguish who is talking after the speech. I hope you find it convenient during your reading.**Complete
