Book One: Heart of Doolin
​
“We spent a week together and before ye even left, I knew ye’d changed my life.”
Cassie Turner has escaped her boring life in Leicester and run away to spend a week in the tiny village of Doolin on the west coast of Ireland. She’s spent the last six months trying to put herself back together after a breakup, has been treading water at work, and is counting on a little breathing room to get her life back on track. She had plenty of plans for her week in the Emerald Isle, but a man-sized complication wasn’t one of them.
Erik O’Malley has returned to Doolin after almost two decades away. The family pub is his to take over as soon as he’s ready, and his little hometown has welcomed him back with open arms. With his family and friends all nearby, he’s ready to figure out what his life will look like now. Was he looking for a gorgeous red-head to distract him? No. Could he stay away if he tried? Also no.
What starts out as a one-night stand between newly acquainted drinking buddies, quickly turns into something more than either of them ever expected. But when the real world and their own lives force them apart, can Cassie and Erik find their way back to each other and build a life together?
Book Two: Fitz's Cross
​
“This,” Mel said, looking at the group of friends gathered around them, still singing and carrying on. “All of this. It worked. I’m in.”
Mel Fletcher has spent her adult life chasing a successful career. But now she’s wondering: what next? She works too much, keeps her relationships casual, and is missing her best friend. A Celtic festival and the lure of a celebrity lookalike are only part of the reason why Mel takes a trip to Doolin. She never planned on staying.
​
Jacko Fitzpatrick is stuck at a crossroads in life. His plans are stalled, and his existence feels lonely. He dates too little, works too much, and can’t figure out how to change any of it. Falling for someone with no interest in any kind of permanent relationship, wasn’t how things were meant to pan out. But things change, and sometimes life happens when you least expect it.
​
When their best friends fall in love and their lives overlap, an accidental pregnancy changes everything. Forced to reevaluate what they thought was important, can Mel and Jacko find a way to move forward together?
