Sparkling banter, family secrets, big lies...Mother Love is a deeply romantic Irish beach read!
For her thirtieth birthday, Irish girl Grainne Larkin yearns for three things: her mother's love, a baby, and her old flame Rafe Byrne—not necessarily in that order. On Rafe's wedding day—a business tycoon, he's marrying a rich, gorgeous American blonde to please his family—brash, irreverent Grainne decides to settle for second best: the nice guy in the wings, who's successful and mad about her too.
Yet the Larkin family, as usual, muddles her "failsafe" plan...Grainne's oldest sister pressures her to leave Dublin for the quaint little village of Ballydara, to help their beautiful, complicated mother Eileen launch a B&B. Given her turbulent relationship with her mam, the last thing Grainne wants to do is live with her.
But when Rafe turns up in Ballydara a free man, Grainne plunges into a no-holds-barred pursuit of her lifelong dream. Yet Grainne may discover that opening her heart—to Rafe, to the prospect of motherhood, and to her mother—is the biggest risk of all...
