The Keeper of the Irish Secret: An Utterly Gorgeous Second Chance Romance Set in Ireland

'OMG!!... Absolutely gorgeous!!!... STUNNING... I was completely addicted and could not put it down.' Bookworm86, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A mysterious old house, an unforgettable romance and a lost granddaughter escaping to the stunning Irish coast...

When broken-hearted Lily Fleury looks up at Magnolia Manor, she's shocked by the overgrown gardens and crumbling walls. Her grandmother, Sylvia, has always been fiercely independent, but how could she have let this happen to their family home?

With the help of local builder Dominic, Lily wastes no time repairing the house to get Sylvia back on her feet. Though Lily is sure Sylvia is hiding the reason she has been struggling, at least Dominic's fierce green eyes are a welcome distraction from everything Lily ran away from.

But when Lily finds a trunk of tattered letters in the gatehouse, she discovers a devastating secret about Magnolia Manor. Lily wanted to save Sylvia, and was falling for Dominic, but will the truth force her to leave and never return?

Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Sheila O'Flanagan and Debbie Macomber will fall head over heels for this gorgeous, feel-good new series set on the stunning windswept beaches of the west coast of Ireland.
