About the Book

After the death of her father, street photographer Cordelia takes a summer gig at a cozy cottage on Ireland's Inishmore Island where she meets Niall O'Connor, a grumpy Irish chef, and the more their paths cross, the more they make each other's lives hell until their hatred turns into undeniable attraction.

Book Synopsis

It's hate-at-first-sight when a jilted Irish chef returns home to Inishmore and immediately clashes with a mouthy American tourist.

This steamy romance novel from the author of the New York Times bestselling Jewel series "checks all the boxes for a steamy Irish summer holiday escape." --Abby Jimenez, author of Just for the Summer

Cordelia James was once at the top of her game--a renowned street photographer with a massive social media following, gallery showings in Chelsea, and a lucrative book deal. But after the sudden death of her father, Cordelia can barely force herself to leave her apartment. That is, until she sees an ad for a summer gig at a cozy cottage on Ireland's picturesque Inishmore island. Cordelia is on a plane before she can talk herself out of it.

The moment she steps off the boat, she crashes--literally--into Niall O'Connor, a grumpy local who's just returned home to Inishmore from Dublin. Niall is nursing a broken heart and trying to patch up a broken life, and he has no time for posh American tourists. The more Cordelia's and Niall's paths cross, the more they make each other's lives hell. But as with all rivalries, their hatred is about to reach a tipping point--and it's going to heat up their cool coastal nights.

Featuring a lovable band of quirky supporting characters, The Irish Goodbye is a steamy, emotionally gripping tale of love, passion, art, food, and finding where you belong.
