Knocked Up on St. Patrick’s Day by Lisa Cullen

“Be a good girl.”

The first time one of my mother’s best friends said it,
I should have walked away.

Instead…
I stayed.

Sleeping with one of them would’ve been reckless.
Sleeping with all three?
That’s the kind of mistake that burns a town down.

They’re powerful.
Revered.
Clover Hill’s golden boys — and the men who practically raised me.

One snowed-in St. Patrick’s Day changes everything.

Now they look at me differently.
Like I’m not the girl they used to protect.
Like I’ve always belonged between them.

Declan is quiet control — authority I ache to challenge.
Finn is temptation wrapped in a wicked grin.
Ronan fights it hardest… which only makes him fall deeper.

They promise it stays secret.
They promise they’ll protect me.
They promise the town won’t touch me.

They’re wrong.

The whispers turn cruel.
The vandalism turns personal.
The hatred turns dangerous.
And then my body betrays us.

Two pink lines.
One unborn secret.
Three possible fathers.

Now I’m not just Clover Hill’s scandal.
I’m carrying their future.

And someone in this town has decided
one of us won’t make it to next St. Patrick’s Day.

Reader’s Note: If you love older, commanding heroes who believe in rewarding their good girl — and don’t mind a little shared devotion — this one’s for you.
