Clodagh Murphy

Discover the BRAND NEW charming, and uplifting read from BESTSELLER Clodagh Murphy, perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Faith Hogan and Susanne O'Leary ?? A fresh start by the Irish coast – and a second chance at love where she least expects it... When single mum Lou moves from the chaos of Dublin to a forgotten seaside cottage in Dingle, she hopes for a calmer life for her son, Jack – a place where he can grow up surrounded by the warmth of a small community. But village life isn’t without its challenges. The cottage needs work and Lou needs a job, but at least Jack quickly makes friends – including Bo, the spirited daughter of Aidan, the head chef of the restaurant where Lou eventually finds work. Aidan is serious, skilled, and a little distant, yet there’s something about him Lou is drawn to. Lou is firm in her decision not to get involved with anyone, not after the heartache Jack’s father caused them both. But as Lou and Aidan grow closer, they may just discover what matters most: family, community, and the unexpected joys of opening your heart again. Set against the windswept beauty of Dingle, this is a story of new beginnings, the bonds that hold us together, and love that grows when you least expect it. Praise for Clodagh Murphy: ‘Beautifully written, funny and warm, Murphy has done it again’ Joanna Bolouri ‘A wonderful story of romance, sisterhood and community with a really strong will they/won’t they vibe’ BookMadJo ‘Once again, I loved my trip to Halfpenny Lane and I adored this book. I cannot wait for another visit’ Herding Cats ‘Sweet and funny, this second chance romance was a fun read’ Reviews in Heels ‘If you haven’t started this series yet there is still time to book your trip to the theatre – you don’t know what you are missing’ Kirsty’s Book Reviews ‘This is a lovely series and although it can be read as a standalone, reading the first in the series will add to the enjoyment’ Books, Life and Everything

A brilliantly funny, charming read from Clodagh Murphy, perfect for fans of Catherine Walsh and Marian Keyes. Claire Kennedy is the anonymous voice behind a wildly popular sex blog – smart, sassy, and always up for an adventure.... Or so her fans think. In reality, Claire is quiet, bookish, and hasn’t been on a date in over a year. But when Mark – the charming publisher she’s been flirting with online – suggests they meet in real life, the fantasy risks falling apart. Mark is offering everything Claire’s ever wanted: an actual relationship, a hot book deal, and a foot in the door of London’s literary scene. There’s just one problem – she needs dating experience, fast. Enter Luca: laid-back, infuriating, and annoyingly attractive. He agrees to help Claire with some very hands-on research... as long as she doesn’t get the wrong idea. He’s not boyfriend material – and this is strictly practice. But as sparks fly and lines blur, Claire starts to wonder: Can the rough draft end up being better than the real thing? Previously published as Some Girls Do.

Phoebe MacLeod A surprise visit home, an unexpected houseguest, a Christmas she'll never forget... ?? Mary hasn’t told her family that she’s coming home for Christmas.
