She's rebuilding her life. He's the only one who can help... if she'll let him close enough to try.

Eimear Walsh never planned to come back to Dooncarra. But newly divorced and out of options, she's returned to save the crumbling family inn. And it's in far worse shape than she feared.

With the Dooncarra Community Renewal Grant on the line, the restoration deadline is non-negotiable. Which means Eimear needs the best contractor in town. The problem? The best contractor in town is Aidan Flynn. The man she left behind ten years ago without a word of explanation.

As the renovations begin, they uncover more than dry rot and dust. There are secrets hidden in the attic, old wounds that never properly healed, and a spark that a decade apart couldn't quite extinguish.

The inn might be fixable. Whether her heart is another question entirely.

With inspectors looming and time running out, Eimear must decide whether she's brave enough to rebuild more than just a building.

Perfect for readers who love second-chance romance, broody heroes with soft hearts, and small-town stories where the past and present collide in the best possible way.

Book 2 of the Love in Dooncarra series -- interconnected standalones set in a coastal Irish village where community, family legacies, and second chances make the best love stories.
