All at Sea with the O'Maras
(2025)(Book 18 in the Irish Guesthouse on the Green series)
A novel by Michelle Vernal
A sun-soaked, laugh-out-loud Irish adventure on the high seas.. For fans of Jean Grainger and Maeve Binchy flavoured storytelling, a series about an unforgettable Irish family.
Sunshine, secrets… and the O’Maras at sea...
The O’Mara–McCarthy clan have officially set sail.Maureen O’Mara and Donal McCarthy have gathered their blended family aboard a cruise ship bound for the Mexican Riviera, promising a week of sunshine, cocktails, shore excursions—and unlimited access to the buffet. With kids safely deposited in the ship’s kids’ zone (or so everyone hopes), this is meant to be the holiday of a lifetime.
But the O’Maras never do things quietly.
Moira is diligently keeping a travel log, while her big brother Patrick is deeply unsettled to discover a cruise ship dancer referring to his Mammy as ‘mum.’ Roisín and Moira’s dreams of lounging poolside are abruptly dashed when their two are slapped with a ban from the kids’ club, and suddenly childcare becomes a full-contact sport.
Maureen, meanwhile, is perfectly content—though that doesn’t stop her striking up a friendship with Cynthia, an American woman travelling alone with a story of her own. What brings Cynthia on this cruise… and what is she running from?
Between taco tastings gone wrong, chaotic bike tours, family squabbles, and moments of unexpected tenderness, one thing becomes clear: there’s a very particular reason Maureen and Donal have brought everyone together.
And if you want to know what it is, you’ll have to come along for the ride.
A heart-warming, laugh-out-loud family story packed with sunshine, secrets, and second chances—perfect for fans of warm Irish fiction and feel-good escapes.
