Celebrity Romance

After They Call Cut

Caoimhe Kildare

THE LAST SCENE The last thing Maeve Callaghan ever said as Eilidh Kerr was not written in the script. It was not supposed to be said at all. The script had given her silence. After fourteen years, eight seasons, three wars, two fictional children buried and four fictional grandchildren born, a shipwreck, a hanging narrowly avoided, one revolution, a fever that had taken six weeks to film and roughly ten minutes to survive on screen, and more mud than any actress should reasonably be expected to swallow for art, Eilidh Kerr’s final instruction was simple.

Sports Romance

After the Match

Nessa Calder

Physiotherapist and single mother Aoife Byrne has built a careful life around work, community and her fierce nine-year-old daughter. When football star Eoin Daly returns home for a testimonial season, the boy she once loved walks back into the leisure centre carrying an injured knee, a changed life and the history neither of them has quite buried. As school visits, family loyalties and the pressure of public attention pull them closer, Aoife and Eoin must decide whether a second chance can be built from something quieter than grand gestures: trust, ordinary reliability, and the courage to stay after the match is over.

Erotic Romance

Aftercare at Midnight

Sive Hart

At midnight, the harbour door locked from the inside. That was the rule on the bronze plaque beside the bell: no spectators after twelve, no phones beyond the velvet line, no touch without a yes that could survive morning. Mara Vale had written the words herself in a fit of stubborn optimism and made the sign-maker engrave them twice because the first version had put consent in smaller letters than discretion.

Small-Town Romance

All the Little Safeties

Laura Carpenter

Ana Byrne learned the weight of a secret at half past six on a Tuesday morning, standing barefoot on the cold tile of her bathroom with the sea still black beyond the window and a white plastic stick balanced on the rim of the sink like a verdict too small for the crime. The house was silent around her. Not peaceful. Silence, Ana had decided years ago, was only peace when someone had chosen it kindly.

Small-Town Romance

Borrowed Cottage Hearts

Sorcha Lennox

Ronan O’Doherty had never liked the way the cottage fell quiet at night. It wasn’t real quiet, not with the wind coming in off the Atlantic and rattling the old storm windows, and the sea pushing itself up against the harbour wall like it might finally work out how to climb. The pipes clanked, the turf in the grate sighed and settled, and somewhere down the hall his father snored like a tractor that ought to be retired.

Romantic Comedy

Borrowed Honeymoon

Laura Carpenter

Evidence The morning I finally take the tickets out again, I do it like I’m handling evidence. They’ve been living in the back of my handbag for months, wedged behind receipts and lip balm, as if hiding them could make them less real. Two names printed in neat black type. Two seats. Two weeks in Venice. A honeymoon that never happened because my fiancé left before the wedding and the world kept moving as if heartbreak were a weather system.

Holiday Romance

Christmas at Lighthouse Point

Aoife Winters

The lighthouse lamp failed twelve days before Christmas, and the first person to notice was the woman everyone in Emerald Harbour had learned not to pity. Mara Keane stood at the end of the pier with a box of donated paper angels under one arm, a municipal clipboard under the other, and the taste of old panic at the back of her throat. Across the black water, Lighthouse Point should have been breathing its steady white pulse over the bay—three seconds of light, three seconds of dark, the town’s oldest reassurance.

Protector Romance

Guarded by the Storm

Skye MacLeod

The letter arrived in a dead man’s waterproof coat. Not in the post, not with a neat stamp and a civilised knock, but folded into the oilskin pocket of a fisherman who had been dragged from the Minch with his hands still clenched as if he had tried to hold the sea shut. Isla Kerr saw the coat before she saw the body, and that was what stayed with her: the yellow sleeve lifting in the wind like a warning flag, the black buttons shining wet, the torn cuff caught on the rusted hook beside the pier office door.

Holiday Romance

Killarney Christmas

Aoife Winters

Killarney Wakes Killarney wakes in a hush that tastes of pine and the sea, a breath held between weather fronts, and Niamh Kelleher sets her shoulder to the morning like it’s an old friend. The fairy lights along the front parlour window blink in a slow heartbeat while she ices trays of cinnamon buns, a flurry of sugar settling on the oak like first snow. Radio Kerry chimes the forecast—“a cold snap, mind yourselves”—and in the pause before the kettle clicks, she hears a taxi’s tyres hiss past the guesthouse and splash the kerb.

Sports Drama Romance

Off Course

Bronagh Fairburn

High Tide Trilogy · Book 1

After a near-catastrophic rig failure threatens his offshore racing campaign, skipper Ronan Kearney needs one strategist brilliant enough to keep the team competitive: Maeve Sullivan, the navigator tied to the part of his past he has never managed to put right. Bringing her back to County Down means old loyalties, old hurt and championship pressure collide on the same deck. Off Course is a high-stakes sports romance about trust under pressure, second chances and two people learning that winning means very little if they repeat the same old mistakes.

Historical Romance / Family Saga

Saltwater Vows

Eilidh Ross

Contemporary Irish Coastal Romance

THE LION'S LOST HEIR

Bridie Byrne McGuinness

The needle liked to sing when Willow worked—thin notes of metal and breath that soothed brides and steadied her own hands. Today it trembled. She tightened the corset laces the way her mother had taught her—two pulls, one whisper—and the bodice closed like a secret around the young woman’s ribs. Outside the atelier’s front glass, two men in municipal jackets loitered beside a clipboard and a strip of yellow tape that was not quite tape, not yet.

Romantic Fantasy

The Door Beneath the Tide

Aisling Vire

Dúnmara Chronicles · Book 1

Gothic Romance

The Ghost at Ravensmere

Ailsa Crowe

Some legacies should stay buried. Some loves refuse to. The Ghost at Ravensmere opens the gates to a moonlit coastal estate where inheritance, desire and dangerous truths refuse to remain politely in the past. Ailsa Crowe blends gothic atmosphere, haunted family history and romance into a story where the house remembers more than its living occupants are prepared to admit.

Contemporary Romantic Suspense / Infrastructure Thriller

The Last Sleeper

Keir Devlin

Infrastructure engineer Isla MacCrae catches an abnormal tilt at a rain-battered viaduct while management calls it weather and reputational risk. Coastguard rescuer Ewan hears the danger too. As failed cameras, altered logs and overloaded freight point toward deliberate interference, Isla must hold the line long enough to keep a sleeper train—and the town beneath it—safe, while trusting the steady man who refuses to let her stand alone.
