What to expect
A BRAND NEW captivating read from the Irish bestseller, about friendship, love and learning to live your best life💜 Perfect for fans of Faith Hogan, Sheila O'Flanagan and Laura Pearson!
Is it ever too late to reclaim the life you never lived?
Rosie O'Malley has not drawn breath after tragically losing her mother and then being abandoned by the one man she knew she loved.
Burying her grief and heartbreak, Rosie threw herself into running Sandycove’s Cliff Top hotel determined to make a success of her mother's legacy and keep a roof over her family’s heads. It's now ten years later and this weekend, the hotel throws open its doors to host its very first wedding.
Boston-based Patrick Power touches down at Dublin Airport for his brother's Seán's wedding, having dedicated the last decade to building his thriving Irish restaurant business. A decade earlier, he left behind the love of his life and try as he might, he's never been able to forget her.
Imagine Patrick's shock when he discovers the wedding is being held in Cliff Top, Rosie’s hotel - the girl he let slip away.
As Sandycove shimmers in a heatwave, can Patrick navigate a family wedding as well as his own feelings? And will Rosie realise she’s been living her late mother's life and not her own? Can she forgive Patrick for leaving her or will ambition and responsibility once again stand in the way of love?
