Christmas at the Irish Bookshop
Sadie Atherton had Christmas all planned. The perfect apartment. The perfect boyfriend. The perfect holiday season.
Then her boyfriend dumps her weeks before Christmas.
So when her childhood best friend invites her to escape Los Angeles for the holidays in a tiny village on Ireland’s wild west coast, Sadie does what any sensible, heartbroken book publicist would do: packs a suitcase, crosses an ocean, and immediately finds herself a project.
Her friends’ cozy village bookshop could use a little Christmas magic, and Sadie has just the idea: twelve nights of readings, storytelling, music, and literary events celebrating Ireland’s rich tradition of words and tales.
There’s only one problem.
Ronan O’Shea, the famously private Irish novelist who practically lives beside the bookshop fire, wants absolutely nothing to do with it. He’s seen what happens when outsiders turn his beloved village into a charming backdrop, and the last thing Ballybranna needs is Sadie packaging it into the next irresistible holiday destination.
But as rainy afternoons become candlelit readings, windswept walks become something dangerously close to dates, and their reluctant partnership starts drawing crowds, Sadie discovers that Ronan may be much harder to resist than a good Christmas story.
Especially when their little book festival begins attracting far more attention than either of them bargained for.
Because Sadie knows how to sell a story.
This Christmas, she may have to learn which ones are worth keeping for herself.
Escape to the Irish coast in this cozy, witty Christmas romance filled with books, crackling fires, village gossip, holiday lights, and one very inconvenient local author.
Genre: Romance
