The Misjudged Romantic Laura Joyce Moriarty

About the book . . . Patrick O'Malley is the love-child of Gabriel O'Malley and Madeline O'Meara McStanish, and the step-son of Maureen Agnes O'Brien O'Malley. He is assumed to be a cold-blooded spy, with an icy dull personality and somewhat average look. Compared to his princely half-cousins, The Nine Irish Sons, Patrick looks ordinary and has no exterior physical characteristics that would make him look powerful or steely. No one imagines him as a hero who protects abused women. No one sees him as charismatic or capable of attracting women. To most he is bitter, hard-hearted, and boring. Once Patrick starts work in the family spy agency, his physical skills become the object of incredulity and gossip. The Nine Irish Sons often wonder about his callous proficiencies and lack of friendliness behind his back. They finally discover to their amazement the real truth---that Patrick is an extremely proficient fighter, has had numerous love affairs, and has fathered a copious number of children around the globe while supporting them and their mothers. He has also given each a way to his home and mother in Ireland
