Lately, Moira OâMara has been wearing a secretive Mona Lisa smile, leaving her sister Aislingâand the rest of the familyâdying to know what sheâs up to. But Moiraâs not ready to spill the beans about the new man in her life just yet. They already tease her about her love for a good party (sheâs Irish, after allâwhatâs life without a little fun?), so for now, her romance is staying firmly under wraps.
Meanwhile, Tessa Delaney has flown all the way from New Zealand to face the ghosts of her past and attend her high school reunion. As a teenager, a bullyâs cruel words left scars that never quite faded, but sheâs ready to reclaim her confidence and move on. Staying at OâMaraâs, the charming Dublin guesthouse, feels like the perfect place to start.
When Moira and Tessaâs paths cross, they find an unexpected connection, and swapping stories, they realize they have more in common than they ever imaginedâand that sometimes, sharing your troubles makes them that little bit easier to bear. Along the way, theyâll discover what truly matters in life: family, friendship, self-acceptance, and the surprising magic of second chances.
