Lately, Moira O’Mara has been wearing a secretive Mona Lisa smile, leaving her sister Aisling—and the rest of the family—dying to know what she’s up to. But Moira’s 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 (she’s Irish, after all—what’s 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 bully’s cruel words left scars that never quite faded, but she’s ready to reclaim her confidence and move on. Staying at O’Mara’s, the charming Dublin guesthouse, feels like the perfect place to start.


When Moira and Tessa’s paths cross, they find an unexpected connection, and swapping stories, they realize they have more in common than they ever imagined—and that sometimes, sharing your troubles makes them that little bit easier to bear. Along the way, they’ll discover what truly matters in life: family, friendship, self-acceptance, and the surprising magic of second chances.
