It Only Takes Once
A quaint Irish village, a klutzy Dublin single mum, and a handsome former flame...
In this charming romantic comedy, twenty-six-year-old Aislin Moore is at a crossroads: a lot of her life needs improvement, but what she really needs is a father. Not for herself, mind, but for her young son, daddy-hungry Kevin--she's determined to succeed at motherhood, if nothing else. So Aislin follows the mad impulse to track down the perfect father-figure for her little boy. In this heartfelt novel about second chances and forgiveness, will Aislin get the fairy-tale ending she's dreamed of?

Mother Love
Sparkling banter, family secrets, big lies…Mother Love is a deeply romantic beach read!
For her thirtieth birthday, Irish girl Grainne Larkin yearns for three things: her mother's love, a baby, and her old flame Rafe Byrne—not necessarily in that order. But on Rafe's wedding day, brash, irreverent Grainne decides to settle for second best: the nice guy in the wings, who's successful and mad about her too.
But when Rafe turns up in Ballydara a free man, she plunges into a no-holds-barred pursuit of her lifelong dream. Yet Grainne may discover that opening her heart—to Rafe, to the prospect of motherhood, and to her mother—is the biggest risk of all…
The Hopeful Romantic
In this heartfelt, tender novel, Kerry McCormack, a young Dublin wife and mother, longs to trade her office job for a simpler life. At thirty-three, she has an outwardly successful marriage to faithful, stalwart Stephen. A devoted father to her son, he's had an abiding passion for Kerry since the first time he saw her.
Yet after a recent, shattering loss, Kerry and Stephen have grown apart.
When Kerry gets the chance to visit a lovely little farm, she anticipates an idyllic country holiday. Instead, her marriage, and everything she knows about herself is turned upside down. As the winter holidays approach, can she and Stephen recapture the passion they once shared in time for Christmas?
The Galway Girls
In this sequel to The Hopeful Romantic, two devoted friends search for their heart's desire in this small-town romantic story set in Ireland. Kerry has fallen in love all over again with her husband Stephen, and after a heartbreaking loss, she longs for another child. But will her lifelong quest of having a farm bring an end to her marriage?
Her best friend Fiona has left her free-spirited life behind her. Or so she thinks—until she finds herself caught between Dublin artist Colm, the man she was once mad about, and the sweet, youthful passion of Davie, who can see the woman she's meant to be. A fun read for gardeners and country-lovers, The Galway Girls is warmhearted tale of women's friendship and love lost and love found among the misty green hills of the Irish countryside!
