CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
RAINY DAYS
Tormented rock star Liam O’Reilly left Dublin and found success, hoping to build a new life, free from the demons of his past. Now it seems he’s got everything he ever wanted, why isn’t he happy? Is it because he’s realised that the most important thing in his life is the promise that he never kept?
Sensitive and damaged Rain O’Donovan lives with her brother and his friends in a tiny seaside town north of Dublin. Once a popular and lively schoolteacher, a car accident has wrecked her life, so that her only pleasure is walking in the rain. Her world revolves around mundane tasks, devoid of hope for the future. The amnesia around the time of the accident that changed everything means that her struggle with life is a day-to-day torture, and, more than anything else, she longs for answers.
When Liam returns to his home town after his two-year absence, he’s determined to try to make amends for the terrible mistakes he made.
But is it too late to put things right?

SWEET DAYS
Patrick Doyle is a rude, selfish, cynical man; but for his friends and family, he’d do anything. His dream of pursuing a music career came to an abrupt halt after a car accident involving those he loves most in the world. Instead, he dedicated himself to working full-time in the pub he manages with his childhood friends, keeping his distance from love, and from anything else that could bind him.
Erin O’Neill is a bright young woman with her future mapped out: she’s about to graduate, she’s got a part-time job in Patrick’s pub and she has the perfect boyfriend. Suddenly, the unexpected happens, interrupting her life and spinning her well-laid plans upside-down, leaving her lonely and desperate.
Patrick isn’t the kind of guy to get caught up in other people’s problems – especially not when it involves a damsel in distress – but he can’t help rushing to her aid, finding himself catapulted into her life against his will.
Even if, maybe, he’d like to be part of that life.
Even if that means getting hurt, and hurting her too.
Because Patrick destroys everything he touches.

Alex McBride returns to Dublin, having been away for five years. She finds her old house, visits her favourite places in the town she grew up in, but nothing is as it used to be. Coming back is never easy, especially if your absence has slowly destroyed someone else’s life; someone you had hoped to forget, but who has stayed exactly where he was, like an open wound that won’t stop bleeding.
Jason and Alex find each other again after years apart: they’ve been friends, confidants and conspirators, but now they’re forced to reconcile a past that has never stopped hurting and a future that they could never live out together.
Because there’s something that could separate them.
And this time, they might be parted forever.

LOST DAYS
Aaron O’Donovan is a rational man prone to reflection, used to being proactive and finding a solution for every problem. He’s spent the past few years taking care of his sister and running a pub that he owns with his friends, after setting aside his passion for music. Aaron is a constant presence in the lives of the people who surround him, a rock you can count on; but Aaron is a lonely man who has given up his own ambitions. Someone with a difficult past behind him. His experiences have made him cynical, unable to believe in anything – especially in love.
Ciara Doyle works as a tour guide during her final year of an Art History degree. She’s young and full of life. Her world is made up of light, colour and limitless dreams. She believes in people, in love and in happily-ever-after, even though there’s only space for one man in her heart — the only man she shouldn’t want.
Aaron has known Ciara since she was a child and has always thought of her as a sister: he’s watched her grow up before his eyes, maturing into a beautiful, sexy woman, so headstrong and proud. A woman who knows what she wants.
And Ciara wants Aaron.
Aaron tries to resist her, but the passion between them explodes, forcing him to give in to something that he has denied himself for years. However, giving in to her would mean the end of her dreams – because Aaron isn’t capable of love. He can never be her Prince Charming.
