Love & Other Liabilities: One Island, One Ex, and a Whole Lot of Complications

Perfect for readers who love Maeve Binchy's warmth and Claudia Carroll's wit - a charming Irish escape.

When a financial crisis sends emotionally armoured accountant Lily Barrett back to Inish Ruin, the tiny West Cork island she fled years ago, she plans to sell her late Nana's cottage and leave-fast. No reunions. No memories. And definitely no run-ins with the boy who broke her heart.

But the cottage needs repairs, an elderly bride-to-be has moved herself in, Lily has inherited a dog that terrifies her, and her free-spirited flatmate has arrived uninvited-and fallen for the local minibus driver.

As Lily's defences crumble, the island's quiet magic asks the ultimate question: is guarding her heart worth the cost?
