Magnolia Manor

Lily Fleury used to love visiting her eccentric grandmother Sylvia in Ireland, taking long sunset walks on the beach and exploring the nooks and crannies of the family's old home Magnolia Manor. But when she arrives from Dublin broken-hearted, hoping to heal in Sylvia's warm embrace, she finds the once ornate Georgian house in disrepair and the gardens wildly overgrown. Sylvia has always been fiercely independent, but Lily can't believe she hasn't told anyone she's been struggling. Lily knows she can't leave until she gets Sylvia back on her feet. Although mysterious local builder Dominic agrees to help, from the moment Lily looks into his fierce green eyes they clash over how to fix the sprawling estate. It's only when she hears the soft Irish lilt of his voice as he sings in the local pub that their arguments ignite a spark of passion neither can ignore… But when Lily finds a trunk of tattered letters in the gatehouse, she discovers a devastating secret Sylvia has been hiding about Magnolia Manor. And she soon learns the real reason Dominic agreed to help out. Lily wanted to save her family home and could see a life here with Dominic, but will the truth force her to leave the man who has captured her heart and never return?

Rose places her hand protectively on her grandmother's necklace and looks up at Magnolia Manor's vine-covered walls. The jewels are her most precious possession, but she is terrified to tell her family the truth about where they really come from... Standing in the doorway of her grandmother Sylvia's home, Rose Fleury thought returning here was the answer to all of her problems. She has no job and a broken heart, but Sylvia reminds her that Fleury women are strong and independent. Clutching a family heirloom, a beautiful topaz necklace, Rose promises to be brave like her relatives. Until she finds out that the jewels hide a terrible secret... Someone in town is claiming the necklace is fake. Rose knows Sylvia will be devastated by this news, and it could shatter their family's reputation. Rose is determined to find the real necklace and discover why it was replaced, and quickly convinces handsome local lawyer Noel Quinn to join her. Though Noel's broad shoulders remind Rose of her ex-boyfriend, he seems just as fascinated by the mystery, and she finds her heart fluttering every time he catches her eye... But when Rose traces the real necklace to another family and another ancestral home in a nearby village, she's shocked to discover a forbidden love that once tore her family apart, and that Noel is connected to it. Can she really trust the man she's been growing so close to? And will the truth about the Fleury family cause a rift between Rose and Sylvia that is impossible to repair?

By the sparkling sea on the Wild Atlantic Way sits a manor full of secrets, and a woman who will do anything for a second chance… Staring up at the magnificent, rose-covered walls of her grandmother's house, Violet Fleury isn't sure she'll be welcome inside. After running from her hometown in Ireland to follow her dreams of acting, she's back to play Irish legend, Kathleen O'Sullivan, in a local film. She's vowed to tell the story of the woman her village is so proud of-and to build bridges with the family she drifted away from. But will they give her a second chance? Violet's sisters might be hesitant, but whilst helping with her sweet young nieces and nephews, Violet feels closer to them than ever before. Then Violet's leading man, dangerously handsome Jack Montgomery, arrives in the peaceful countryside. The instant chemistry between them is as fiery as Violet's flaming red hair… and discovering stories about Kathleen from the locals, Violet sees Jack's kindness too. He even wins over Violet's sisters. Could he help stitch their family back together? But when Violet finds dusty, handwritten notes from Kathleen in her research, she wonders if this legendary woman was the heroine everyone thinks. And when Jack pulls out of the film, Violet is heartbroken. The villagers, and Violet's whole family, are in awe of Kathleen's story-and Violet had even started to imagine staying in Ireland. But without Jack by her side, could these secrets destroy the town's reputation, and the second chance she's been dreaming of? A mesmerising story about secret lives and fresh starts, set on the wild, rugged shores of rural Ireland. Fans of Tricia O'Malley, Debbie Macomber, and Mary Alice Monroe will fall head over heels for this beautiful romance.

'This will always be your home.' My daughter's voice warms me, and I look out at the sea, smelling the wild Irish flowers on the windowsill. But what if the secret I'm keeping destroys the only family I have left? Wiping away her tears, Patricia Fleury carefully twists the ring off her finger. She sets it down on the glass tabletop and locks her front door for the final time. She never imagined she'd go back to the West Coast of Ireland, but she knows she can only grieve the loss of her husband if she's surrounded by her daughters, and the laughter of her grandchildren. Unless her secrets follow her . . . The windswept beach sparkles as Patricia spends her days swimming and building sandcastles with her family. But starting again in her old, worn–out cottage, unlived in for years, is harder than she thought. The nights are lonely, and every noise in the darkness reminds her of the painful past she's trying to escape. Until she runs into a mysterious old friend from the past, Cillian O'Malley, whose dark, hazel eyes look wounded too. With every brush of his hand, and every old memory they share, she begins to feel safe again. If she admits the longing she feels, which burns brighter every day, could they make a new life together. But when Patricia lets Cillian into her home, allowing herself to imagine waking up in his strong arms every day, he uncovers a young child's drawings in an old wardrobe in the cottage. Patricia feels a rush of fear as Cillian makes excuses and hurries out of the door. Does he know her secret? Patricia thought Cillian might accept her for who she really is, but will her mistakes tear them apart? Can they work together to right the wrongs of the past? Or will she hurt those she has fought so hard to protect for all these years?
