The Seaglass Key: Clean, Small-Town Irish Romance

By Maeve McBride

A storm-lost key, a cliff-top inn, a fresh start neither of them planned

Ballymara's winter sea has teeth. After the latest gale, The Seaglass Inn stands battered and dark on the headland. When Cara Gallagher, a Dublin antiques dealer with a bruised heart, finds an old brass key washed up amongst sea-glass, she brings it to the only place it could belong.

Liam O'Rourke, Ballymara's steady handyman, is there boarding windows and trying not to mourn what the town is losing. One key, one locked room, and one last chance to save Seaglass Inn.

One key opens more than a door...

The discovery leads to a forgotten guestbook, a bundle of letters, and proof that Seaglass was never just a hotel to Ballymara. As the developer's deadline closes in, Cara and Liam work shoulder to shoulder by lamplight, gathering neighbors for an emergency clean-up and learning each other's quiet tells:

The way Liam shows love through actions.The way Cara jokes when she is afraid to hope.

The closer they get to saving the inn, the harder it becomes to pretend this is temporary. Cara has already rebuilt her life once, and Liam has lost too much to risk wanting more. Yet, Seaglass keeps asking for one more act of faith.

Some doors only open once. If Cara walks away now, she may lose Ballymara for good.
