Season of Second Chances
#1 Amazon bestseller
When leaving is just the beginning…
Grace Sullivan flees Dublin with her two teenage children, returning to the sleepy West Cork village where she grew up. No one in Killrowan knows what Grace is running from – or even that she’s running. She’d like to keep it that way.
Taking over from her father, Des, as the village doctor offers a very real chance for Grace to begin again. But will she and the children adapt to life in a small rural community? Can she live up to the doctor her father was? And will she find the inner strength to face the past when it comes calling?
“More please!” bestselling Irish author Clodagh Murphy.
“I’m moving to Kilrowan! I loved every minute I spent in this world. I loved the warm and varied characters, the gentle humour and spirit of community. I want to go back, especially at this time when we need to be reminded of what we mean to each other,” bestselling Irish author Niamh O’Connor.
“Beautifully written, tender, emotional and with characters you really care for,” bestselling Irish author Martina Reilly.

Within eight weeks, she is considering his pleas to marry him and wondering if she can take on his two motherless children.

All We Have Lost
Kim Waters seems to have it all: her own PR agency, a loving husband and two adorable children.

She folds her business and settles down to a life of cosy domesticity.
If only it were that easy. The ‘great novel’ is, in fact, a great struggle. Life as a domestic goddess has (many) hidden challenges. And her relationship with her husband is rapidly losing its equilibrium. As the perfect life Kim has built for herself starts to crumble comes the revelation that will make her doubt everything she had taken for granted…
