Something to Prove
The O’Learys
By: Shannyn
Schroeder
Releasing
January 2014
Two ambitious people team up to prove
themselves to their families—and find there may be more to their partnership
than just business…
Elizabeth
Brannigan is determined to show her father she’s capable of running the family
business. Saving his struggling Chicago bar seems like the perfect project. But
she’ll need a little help dealing with the rough crowd. Who better to assist
her than the handsome co-owner of a thriving Irish pub? Of course, with so much
work to do, there are bound to be a few late nights…
Colin O’Leary’s
father passed away before he could prove to him that he wasn’t a screw-up. Now
he wants to show his brother he’s responsible enough to own a bar of his
own—and Elizabeth may be able to help him. But when their professional
aspirations clash, tempers—and passions—flare. Are they mature enough to mix
business with pleasure—or will they have to choose between the two?

Shannyn is a
former English teacher, who now works as a part-time editor while raising her
three kids.
Even though she wrote from high school through college (mostly poetry), she’d never considered a career as an author. Writing fell by the wayside as she focused her energy on creating lesson plans and new and fabulous ways to torment her teen students. One group in particular dubbed her “The Torture Master,” a title she carried into motherhood.

After the
birth of baby number two, Shannyn resigned from teaching and fell in love with
reading romance novels. She read so many books so quickly that her husband
teased, “If you’re going to read so many damn books, why don’t you just write
one?”
So she did.
That first
book is safely buried on her hard drive, but the process set Shannyn on the
path to where she is today—agented with a debut ebook coming out with
Kensington in late 2012.
She is
recovering from her Diet Coke addiction, fears putting her foot in her mouth on
social media, and has a renewed appreciation for the bad girls of the world.
