If you have ever wanted to lose yourself in a cosy Irish village romance but did not know where to start, this is the collection for you. These are the opening books of three beloved sweet romance series. Three complete, standalone love stories set in the Irish villages of Dooncarra, Ballycove, and Ballymara. Each one is a perfect entry point into its own world, and each one ends with a guaranteed happily-ever-after:
- The Pub Owner's Proposal — Love in Dooncarra, Book 1
One fake engagement. Two stubborn hearts. And a whole town determined to meddle. Niamh Kelly's gift shop is three months from closing when grumpy pub owner Darragh O'Sullivan walks through her door with an outrageous proposition: pretend to be his fiancée to save his family's pub. She knows she should say no. But Dooncarra's gossip mill has already done the rest. And suddenly they are knee-deep in cake tastings they did not ask for, dance lessons neither of them wanted, and feelings that were never part of the plan.
The Cottage by the Cliffs — Love in Ballycove, Book 1
ne fake ring. One broken heart. One chance to finally stop running. Big-city marketing star Tara Quinn returns to windswept Ballycove to sell her late grandmother's cliff-top cottage and to escape the memories of the teenage sweetheart she left behind. Local carpenter Cillian Byrne offers a solution: a pretend engagement to keep nosy villagers and greedy developers at bay while they restore the house. Strictly business. Until it isn't.
The Hotel on the Headland — Love in Ballymara, Book 1
An inherited vote, a storm-bound week, and a second chance at belonging. Burnt-out project manager Maeve O'Donnell comes home to Ballymara expecting a quick estate settlement. Instead she discovers she has inherited the one vote that could block a developer's buyout of the Seaglass Inn, and that the quietly steady local builder hired to shore up the place is the one person she cannot quite keep her distance from. Three complete stories. No cliffhangers. All the happily-ever-afters.
Sweet romance. Closed door. Kindle Unlimited.
