Felix is in real trouble this time. Not only did he wake up nearly naked in a foreign country -- drugged and abandoned as a prank -- but soon he finds himself being interviewed by the police after crashing the truck of his handsome rescuer, Ronan Malloy. The only way for Felix to make amends is to work off his debt on the injured Ronan’s shabby, struggling farm. Ronan Malloy and his grandad Lorcan have big plans for their ancestral farm. Their new boutique cheese will put Malloy Cheesery the map. But he hasn't struck it rich yet. Between the bank and his scheming neighbor, he has enough troubles and doesn't want to deal with an untrained Yankee on top of it. Although Felix resents having to stay behind as his friends continue their backpacking adventure across Europe, he begins to see that farm life isn’t so bad. Ronan’s charming smile and sparkling eyes are an added bonus. And Ronan learns soon enough that the Yankee isn't as helpless as he thought. Felix isn’t sure he’s up to the task of saving the deeply indebted Malloy Farm from calamity and devious plots for its downfall, but for Ronan, he’s willing to try.

Sam studied his friend for a few seconds. Felix wasn’t used to standing up for himself and apparently neither was Sam.


“Piss on you, then,” Sam said, crossing his arms across his chest. “We come all the way back to the fucking asshole of the universe and do we get any thanks? Nope. You just stare up at some potato farmer like he hung the fucking moon.”


He was about to respond, but Ronan was calling for everyone’s attention from the stage and Felix wasn’t going to let Sam distract him any further.
