Escape: The O'Brians, Book One

 

She dreams of breaking free.

Desperate to start over, Darcie Hartwell is drawn to Ireland, unwittingly compelled by the mystical power of fate and the ghost of an ancestor. She’s not looking for adventure, love, or friendship. She only yearns for a peaceful life, free from the memories that plague her nightmares.

 

He dreams of her.

Connor O’Brian is a hard-working Irishman who wants nothing to do with women or romance—burnt once, twice shy. Except for the one he sees in his dreams. For years, he has dreamt of only her. Nameless, voiceless, he doesn’t know if she’s real. But he knows that if he ever finds her, he will stop at nothing to keep her.

 

But fate has its own plans.

Falling into the waiting arms of the handsome Irishman was never Darcie’s intention, but in that one moment, everything changed. Now, Darcie must decide if she is willing to confront the past that haunts her and face who she is to fight for the love she never knew awaited her.​

Break Free: The O'Brians, Book Two 

​

She will fight to protect her heart.

Stunning as a sunrise, Sondra Keane enchants men everywhere she goes. Fiercely independent, she has everything she needs: her own clothing shop, her best friend, Darcie, and a penchant for life that radiates from her every move. But underneath her vibrant exterior, a darkness shadows her heart. She trusts no one, especially herself.

 

He will fight to protect her.

Simon O’Brian loves the ladies and was perfectly happy with Miss Right Now - until Sondra. Sassy and intelligent, this firecracker is clear about what she wants - and he is more than happy to give it to her. Except this time, she ignites more than a passion in his blood, and he finds himself wanting nothing less than her heart.

 

But something sinister is coming.

When Darcie’s deadly family threatens her newfound happiness, Sondra gets caught in the onslaught. With her world on fire, Simon needs her to trust him now more than ever, and Sondra must choose between holding on to her past or accepting that sometimes opening your heart and risking it all is the only path to being saved.

United: The O'Brians, Book Three

 

Her heart was shattered the day he was taken.

Now a widow, Nan O’Brian’s time for love is a thing of the past. She no longer thinks about herself, but instead, lives for her nephews, doting on them as if they were her own. But surviving is not living, and when an unexpected encounter sparks something she thought long buried, she wonders if a heart can get a second chance.

 

She was his one and only.

Shamus O’Day spends his time devoted to the memory of his beloved wife. Knowing there will never be another, his existence has become nothing more than a waiting game. But the game changes when he meets Nan, a high spirited, pint-sized woman who sends his world into a tailspin. New beginnings bring new family discoveries and with them, the realization that perhaps life is not finished with him yet.

 

But with new possibilities comes old trouble.

Now, the unlikely family must unite to protect the one person who brought them together: Darcie has been marked for death in a treacherous game of vengeance. But when the key to her survival lies with a man potentially even more dangerous, the risky solution could bring destruction to them all.​​​​

The Klutzy Collection, Book One, Arse Over Irish Teacup

 

Clumsy, quirky, and utterly charming, Bethany Spinner is a human whirlwind of catastrophes. While she is no stranger to embarrassing situations, getting publicly dumped at her grandmother’s funeral is a whole new kind of embarrassment. Deciding she’s had enough, Beth takes a page from her favorite Irish romance novel and sets off to find her real-life dashing hero.

With her well-worn book in hand and infectiously positive attitude, Bethany boards a flight heading to the wild shores of Ireland. But her adventure is already off to a rocky start when she is seated next to Aidan, a grumpy curmudgeon who is none other than the author of her favorite Irish romance. And he is the most seemingly unromantic man she has ever met.

Aidan Turner is in a slump. How can a romance author write when he doesn’t believe in love anymore? It’s no wonder his publisher rejected his recent book. And the last thing he needs is the wide-eyed, idealistic woman chatting beside him as a reminder. No matter how adorable she is.

After landing in Ireland and a series of mishaps (who knew you had to drive on the wrong side of the road?), it seems Bethany's luck may finally be turning around. Especially when she sees Aidan again at a wedding and he offers to be her tour guide. She may be a walking disaster, but no one deserves a poor experience when visiting such a beautiful country.

As Bethany sees the man beneath the gruff exterior, and Aidan experiences his world through her eyes, fiction and reality blur. Life may not play out like a romance novel, but sometimes, you’re given the opportunity to re-write your own love story.​​​​

The Klutzy Collection, Book Two, Falling Off the Floor

 

The only thing more disastrous than Emma Young’s clumsiness is her dating record. After kissing one too many frogs, she’s ready to give up on men, retreat to her Irish hometown, and embrace a future of sweatpants and spinsterhood.

 

Too bad her mother didn't get the memo. So when Winnie learns that the hunky handyman she hired for her daughter is none other than Roan McKabe, the one who got away (but barely since Emma ran into his car), she decides Roan is the perfect man to fix more than just Emma’s house. Normally falling for Roan would be a positive step in Winnie’s plan, except when it comes to Emma, it means literally tumbling down the stairs and crashing at his feet. Clearly, Emma will need all the help she can get. Good thing Winnie is up to the challenge with her not-so-subtle matchmaking schemes!

 

But Winnie’s not the only one interested in Emma’s romantic future. Just when things are looking up, Mark crashes the party. Armed with appliances and rugby tickets, Emma's ex-husband is determined to win her back.

Join Emma and a colorful cast as she navigates meddling mothers, persistent exes, and clumsy encounters to embark on a journey of self-discovery that may ultimately lead to falling in love – hopefully with fewer bruises this time!
