Description:
When her two best friends suggest quitting their city jobs to buy a crumbling pub, Imogen King should've said no, she isn't a risk taker. Instead, she finds herself in Ballyluck, a sleepy Irish village with more sheep than tourists and running a pub on the brink of collapse. In fact, the only interesting thing about the village is the Hollywood movie being filmed a few miles down the road. Not that Imogen keeps up with the celebrity world, especially after her influencer ex turned their breakup into viral content. She's sworn off social media, scandal, and anything resembling drama.
Amelia Whitlock's celebrity status is growing fast, and her biggest role yet brings her to the beautiful Irish countryside. Fame has its perks, but Amelia's tired of being seen, not known. So, when a gorgeous bartender looks at her like she's just a girl in a pub, Amelia isn't in a rush to come clean.
Imogen doesn't recognize her, and Amelia doesn't correct her. But when a simple weekend tour turns into something deeper, the truth is harder to hide, and a lot more dangerous to reveal.
Brief description: Claire Forsythe lives just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland with her partner, Mary, and their pets, Charlie the dog, Midnight the cat, and Jazz the goldfish. Claire owns a coffee shop, which keeps her both busy and well-topped-up on caffeine--flat whites, specifically.Apart from her love of coffee, Claire enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, sipping red wine, traveling and exploring new places, reading a variety of novels--from romance to crime, playing poker even though she's a terrible bluffer, and binge-watching box sets. She's a big football fan and loves cheering on her beloved Liverpool FC. She loves to spend as much time as she can with her family and friends, who mean the world to her. She and her partner get beaten by two of their best friends in doubles badminton weekly, though they turn up every week in the hope that their luck will change. It hasn't yet . . . Claire has loved words and books ever since she was little, and it has always been her ambition to write. After finding herself with some unexpected free time on her hands in lockdown during the pandemic, she decided to follow her dream and start writing. Now that she's started, she never wants to stop.
