Crimson & Clover
After catching her boyfriend cheating, thirty-two-year-old Isabella Martini decides it’s time to accept her godmother’s invitation to visit her in Ireland. Not only is Isabella desperate to put an ocean between her and her ex, but her godmother, Catriona, recently discovered Isabella’s late mother’s diary, and Isabella aches to learn what wisdom it might hold. But the diary contains more than her mom’s recipes and thoughts about her time spent abroad. It also reveals secrets about three past lovers…one of whom is surely Isabella’s father.
When Isabella sets off across the Emerald Isle to find the father she never knew, Catriona insists that her nephew, Finn, serve as her chauffeur. The problem is, Finn, despite his ginger beard and piercing blue eyes, is a taciturn, monosyllabic sheep farmer who gives off major Roy Kent vibes. He’s not exactly Isabella’s idea of an agreeable road-trip buddy.
The search for her dad takes Isabella and Finn to a quaint orchard, where they learn countless apple facts with a Judge Judy superfan, before leading them to a historic castle, where they must pose as a betrothed couple and sample truly atrocious whiskey. After selling their fake relationship with an all-too-real kiss, they can no longer deny the heat between them. Finn, it turns out, just might be the surprising lifeline Isabella didn’t know she needed. But when Isabella learns the truth about her real father, she must decide where her heart and future lie. Back in San Francisco with a job offer that'll allow her to rebuild her life back to how it was? Or with her found family and Finn in Ireland?
