Julia Smith, vet tech extraordinaire, needed a change. At thirty-three, she was done letting her parents treat her like a houseplant that needed constant repositioning. So she applied for a job in another province, bought a house sight unseen—which her mother called ‘insane,’ and her father called ‘absolutely insane’—and packed her bags before anyone could stop her. In retrospect, it was the first of several poor decisions, but she congratulated herself on her bold new chapter all the way up until a rat ran across her bare foot on night one. Her scream brought the neighbor running. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and wearing a monk’s robe.
Devlan MacGallan was always told that his father had died and that his mother couldn't take care of him; that's why he grew up in a monastery. He had taken cold baths and fasted and prayed through temptation, and none of it had ever been a problem. Then the new neighbor moved in next door, and now here he was, chasing a rat around her kitchen at midnight in his habit while she stood on the counter in a nightgown, and he was fairly certain God was testing him personally.
He caught the rat, then offered to help with repairs to her house. He told himself he hoped she’d say no.
She said yes.
He was starting to suspect that she, or the rat, had been sent by the devil because he had three months left before he took his vow of celibacy.
Especially when she dropped the bombshell on him, claiming he had a twin… a twin who was in the Irish Mafia.
