The Hopeful Romantic (Village of Ballydara Book 3)
A novel of marriage, family, and love lost and love found...Kerry McCormack, a thirtysomething wife and mother, dreams of trading her office job for a simpler life. After years of a passionate marriage, she’s grown apart from her husband Stephen, who hides his longing for a close family. Unresolved grief over a recent miscarriage haunts their relationship…just as a dilemma from Kerry’s past unexpectedly appears.
Kerry accepts a surprise invitation from an old friend of Stephen’s—a friend she once fancied—to leave Dublin for a weekend in the little village of Ballydara. She's anticipating an idyllic country holiday with free-spirited Will and his family. Yet the grief shadowing her makes her a little too susceptible to Will’s charm. He’s the catalyst that exposes long-buried secrets between Kerry and Stephen, and the regrets that haunt them both.
As Kerry’s hopes for her marriage and her family’s future seem out of reach, will she and Stephen heal their relationship before it's too late?
"The Hopeful Romantic was a pleasure to read for its engaging characters, its authenticity, and its unforgettable moments...a poignant and, sometimes humorous, old-fashioned romantic story." -Chanticleer Reviews
