About this eBook

Maggie might almost think Jake was perfect, except that he wants to tear down her home to build a golf course.

Maggie Moran is an 8th generation Moran to live in the cottage by the sea. She arrived as a teenager from Dublin to live with her grandparents and since then, has carved out a perfect life for herself. The sentimental attachment to her home is strong and she vows that she will not sell. Easier said than done, when the pressure is put on by the handsome and charismatic businessman from the States.

Jake Ballard is in Ireland for the summer to get his golf course and resort off the ground in the scenic County Clare cliffside town. He planned to stay only three months in the Emerald Isle, but his undeniable attraction to the feisty Maggie has him wondering if he truly wants to leave—or destroy everything she loves.

All is fair in love and war, but can Jake and Maggie possibly figure out a way to mix business with pleasure and have what they both really want?

Ratings and reviews

Maggie and Jake had a roller coaster romance in this book. He's only in Ireland temporarily for business so she was hesitant to pursue a romance with him, but with his good looks and thoughtful ways I could see why she'd still want to go out with him. I laughed over his interactions with his teenage son who was more interested in his phone than spending time with his father. My niece is a vegan like Noah and it's definitely a lifestyle change, but she likes it and has found ways to keep her diet enjoyable and balanced. Maggie's dog Rufus carrying her cat Twinkle was hilarious and I'm shock the cat allowed it. I loved hearing about the stone circle and castle ruins Jake and Noah visited, and the beach where Maggie lets her animal run and collects her seaweed. The descriptions and the wonderful supportive townspeople make me want to plan a trip to Ballygap.
