'It devastates me that this will be the first you're hearing of the bookshop. But it's yours now, and I hope it can heal you despite everything you might hear about our family. Good luck, dear Ciara, and remember to never give up...'
Standing amongst the wildflowers that border the abandoned bookshop, Ciara's heart begins to swell. She never met her mysterious distant relative Martha, but there's no denying that this place, filled with beautiful old books, is captivating. Trapped in a dead-end job and a tiny apartment in Dublin, this inheritance could change everything for her.
As visitors from Cherrywood village arrive to welcome Ciara, and she learns to love each priceless edition she now owns, it's Ronan, the handsome lawyer with hazel eyes and husky voice who makes a lasting impression. Can he help her learn more about Martha? Why was Ciara chosen to protect the bookshop's legacy, and why all the secrecy? The only certainty is the butterflies Ciara feels every time she locks eyes with Ronan. Is it crazy to imagine herself re-opening the bookshop and staying forever?
But nothing prepares Ciara for the letter she finds hidden high on the rickety shelves, for the heart shattering story of an abandoned baby and a devastating family secret. The truth about Martha could mean Ciara loses the bookshop forever.
Ciara is faced with an impossible choice: close the doors of her new home and return to her old life in Dublin, or stay to find out the truth and risk everything for a new life in Cherrywood...
An utterly gorgeous and romantic story about second chances that will sweep you away to Ireland. Fans of Mary Alice Monroe, Mary Kay Andrews and Rachel Hanna will devour this feel-good read.
