It’s not just where you’re going … it’s who you’re going to meet when you get there.

The dream job, fairytale destination, and promise of love are not much good to you when you’ve closed your heart.

Naoise’s had one tough year (more than one, if we’re honest). But she’s currently traversing Ireland from city to country in a trusty old banger her dad just gave her. Fresh out of college, she’s about to commence her career as a secondary school teacher in the idyllic coastal village where she spent all her best childhood holidays.

And she’s going to reunite with Declan, her best-friend-slash-college-crush, who works in the same school and has never gotten over her. The only problem is, the idea of love is terrifying. And her new neighbour, a gorgeous yet devilish award-winning author, and an older man to boot, knows just how to exploit her fear.

Will Naoise’s heart soften before her second chance with Dec runs out? Is she even still capable of love? And will she remember who she’s supposed to love the most?
