Escape to the quaint Irish village of Ballydara, and the tender, friends-to-lovers story that began in Becoming Emma...

With her career going down the tubes, Dublin girl Emma Carey vows to fulfill her one, simple New Year's resolution: make a quick journey to rural County Galway, to do a small favor for her former colleague and friend, Declan O'Donoghue. Who, for a lovely little while, had been more than a friend. And then suddenly...hadn't.

Yet when a brief nanny gig falls into her lap, Emma figures a friendly, picturesque little village like Ballydara will be a terrific place to lick her career wounds before she makes a fresh start. Problem: it's not just any nanny gig—it's working for the man she's trying to fall out of love with.

The kids, while adorable, are a real handful—and giving the ramshackle cottage next door a makeover complicates Emma's job further. She has to wonder, exactly what has she gotten herself into?

Single dad Declan has been going it alone far too long. Having Emma in his life again—the woman he's yearned for and never forgotten—he knows he's in over his head, But when Declan's extended family of five beautiful, unconventional sisters descends on the newly cozy cottage, his life, and Emma's, takes a completely unexpected turn...

In this gently romantic tale of found family, caring for Declan's kids in a lovable, close-knit community, will Emma find the life and love she's dreamed of?

Wise and warmhearted, The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara is the third novel of the Emma Carey trilogy, and the sequel to Becoming Emma, both part of Susan Colleen Browne's Village of Ballydara series!
