On Dublin Street is a 2012 novel by Samantha Young.

Jocelyn Butler, called Joss, is a 22-year-old half-American, half-Scottish woman who finished college, tries to become a writer and is the main protagonist of the series. After losing her whole family during a car accident while she was at school 8 years ago and her best friend afterwards, she decided to build a cool and tough façade in which she doesn't care for anyone and tells everyone bluntly what she feels without feeling guilty. She starts her new life by searching for an apartment to share with a roommate. She finds a free room on Dublin Street, owned by Ellie Carmichael, and pays her a visit by taxi.

On her way, she is invited to a taxi ride with an attractive and seemingly intimidating man, whom she refers as 'The Suit'. After talking to him and realizing that she's already attracted to him, Joss shows off her coolness, pretending to be completely indifferent about him, which pleases him. When he asks her if she's got a name, Joss cheekily replies that she has two and leaves him hanging. In the new apartment, which Joss finds fantastic because of its elegant design, she meets Ellie Carmichael, a bubbly and sweet blonde-haired university student, to whom Joss becomes unwillingly attached. Much to her shock she also finds out that the so-called 'Suit' is her older brother and the owner of the famous club Fire.
