The Guest Carried by the Tide

Andrew O'Connell is a charismatic and silver-tongued servant working at a sprawling Irish estate, renowned among his peers for his effortless ability to enchant any woman he meets. His reputation as an incorrigible flirt is put to the test when Nora Greenwood, a guest widely known for her extreme shyness and reclusive nature, arrives at the mansion. Eager to entertain themselves, Andrew’s friends challenge him to work his usual magic on the quiet newcomer. Brimming with confidence, he accepts the wager, fully expecting an easy victory over the supposedly timid lady. However, the moment Andrew finally manages to get Nora alone, his carefully laid plans unravel entirely. He quickly discovers that her fragile public image is nothing more than a convincing facade. Behind closed doors, Nora reveals a bold, demanding, and utterly intoxicating hidden nature that completely upends his expectations. The man who believed himself to be the ultimate player soon realizes he has gravely underestimated his opponent, finding himself transformed from the pursuer into the true prize of their dangerous game.
