Battered, broken, and desperate for solitude, smoke jumper Tric Ryan heads to Grace Cove to recover from the accident that nearly ended his career—and his future. The last thing he expects is to walk into Shamrock Cottage and find a fierce redhead brandishing a skillet and claiming the place as hers.
Kelly O’Malley came to Grace Cove to start over after heartbreak and loss. When a fire destroys her home, her uncle offers Shamrock Cottage as a temporary refuge—a safe haven where she can heal. So when a bruised stranger shows up insisting he rented the same cottage, she’s ready to defend what little she has left.
A quick call to her matchmaking uncle reveals the truth— the cottage has been double-booked, and neither Tric nor Kelly has anywhere else to go. Reluctantly agreeing to share the spacious seaside retreat, they soon discover that healing is easier with laughter, friendship, and long walks along the shore.
As Tric struggles to face a future that may no longer include the dangerous work he loves, Kelly must decide whether to risk her heart again. With the magic of Grace Cove, a bit of Irish luck, and two meddling uncles determined to see them both happy, they just might find that love arrives when it’s least expected.
After all, shamrocks are a girl’s best friend. 🍀💕
