The Hotel on the Headland

An inherited vote, a storm-bound week, and a 2nd chance at belonging!She holds the vote that can save The Seaglass Inn. He is the reason she might stay.Ballymara welcomes the New Year with wild seas and a battered cliff-top hotel fighting to stand! Burnt-out project manager Maeve O'Donnell comes home... only to learn she has inherited a minority stake in The Seaglass Inn and the one vote that could block a developer's buyout. Conor, the quietly soft local builder hired to shore up the place, needs the job to keep his life afloat. When a storm cuts Maeve off on the headland, she and Conor are forced into close quarters in the inn, the past, and each other.Maeve planned to sign the papers, settle the estate, and escape back to her fast, tidy life. But Ballymara is not tidy. It is neighbours at the door with tea, a committee meeting in a back room. A crumbling hotel that feels like the town's heartbeat. And it is Conor, steady hands and gentle humour, seeing right through Maeve's polished competence to the exhaustion she keeps hidden.Conor tells himself he is only here to fix walls and windows. He cannot afford distractions, not when the developer's deadline looms and the town is counting on him. But Maeve is the one person who can stop the sale, and the one person he cannot quite keep his distance from. The more they work side by side, the more Maeve wonders if she left Ballymara for a reason, or if she has been running from the one place she could finally breathe.Saving The Seaglass Inn will take money, stubbornness, and the courage to be seen. Falling for Conor may take even more!In Ballymara, fresh starts begin the moment you stop trying to weather the storm alone.
