Mystery

A Broken Kind of Season

Aileen Muir

The hours before the ceremony had given no warning except the kind people ignore because ordinary life is noisy. Finn had woken to Nell singing to her cereal. His mother had coughed in the hallway and told everyone she was fine in a voice that meant she was absolutely not. His father had burned toast, scraped it, burned the scraped toast, and finally served everyone Weetabix with the solemnity of a man making legal reparations.

Romantasy / Maritime Fantasy

A Crown of Salt and Starlight

Aisling Vire

The Tidebound Courts

Salt, starlight and a crown with a cost shape this maritime romantasy. A Crown of Salt and Starlight brings desire and duty into the same tide, where neither power nor love arrives without consequence.

Celebrity Romance

A Key Before a Ring Fair Play

Caoimhe Kildare

Crown & Clover — The Brighthelm Saga

The Key The first photograph arrived while Maeve Devlin was buttering toast with one hand and signing a consent form with the other. It was not, strictly speaking, how constitutional crises were meant to begin. There should have been a bell somewhere, a man in a grey suit, a folded paper on a silver tray, perhaps a storm beating itself stupid against the palace windows for atmosphere.

Victorian Historical

A Last Kind of Empire

Isla Bannock

Elspeth Vale was supposed to secure her father’s future with one obedient yes. Instead, she refuses Lord Haverford before a room full of London witnesses—and before dawn a blood-marked ledger appears on the steps of her father’s Belgravia house. The book bears the crest of the Imperial Textile Concern and a warning: if she marries Haverford, the ledger disappears. If she wants to know what her father’s empire truly costs, she must come alone to an abandoned dye house before noon. Elspeth has spent her life learning the rules that keep respectable women safe. Now every rule points back toward silence. Following the ledger means risking family, reputation and the only world she has ever known. Ignoring it may mean becoming part of the machinery it records.

Celebrity Romance

A Star Comes Home

Caoimhe Kildare

The gold star fell off Maeve Hart’s coat in front of three hundred cameras, which was rude of it, considering it had survived thirteen years of press tours, airport lounges, hotel carpets, bad boyfriends, worse managers, and one stadium encore in the rain. It hit the wet pavement outside the Royal Emerald Hotel with a tiny click nobody should have heard. Maeve heard it anyway.

Epic Fantasy

AONMARA The Fifth Ring

Aisling Vire

Book One of The Fifth Ring Saga · Book 1

The Tide Went Wrong The tide went wrong three nights before the dead fisherman came home. Not with storm. Storms belonged to ordinary fear, and ordinary fear had rules. Storms broke masts. Storms drowned cattle in low fields. Storms tore slates from roofs and left women standing in doorways counting names into the dark with shaking hands and practical voices.

Celtic Fantasy

Ashes at Blackwater

Sadhbh Éireann

On the day Bríd Ó Corráin is buried, blood boils beneath a kettle in the Blackwater Arms and her missing St Brigid medal rises from it with a warning: the fourth ash wakes. As Niamh confronts the enigmatic Cian Vale and the secrets her family kept in the name of survival, a drowned kingdom lights beneath Blackwater Harbour and an ancient oath tied to her blood begins to break.

Contemporary Romance

Borrowed Bridesmaid

Bronagh Fairburn

Wedding planner Aoife Byrne is used to fixing other people's disasters, but when a bridesmaid vanishes on the morning of a Boston wedding, Aoife ends up in the satin dress herself. Cian Fairchild—the groom's blunt, practical half-brother from Donegal—sees straight through her emergency-plan armour. What begins as one impossible wedding becomes a romance stretched between Boston and Donegal, where choosing each other means making room for work, family, distance, weather, and a life neither of them has to abandon.

Medical Romance

Breaking Sterile

Cormac Kearney

Night Ward · Book 1

At Galway University Hospital, the distance between keeping someone alive and letting someone close can be measured in seconds. Breaking Sterile launches Night Ward with two medical professionals carrying impossible pressure, private wounds and a trust neither of them can afford to fake. In a place where life hangs by a thread, intimacy is not an escape from the work — it is another risk with consequences.

Celebrity Romance

Fake for the Craic True as Rain

Caoimhe Kildare

Crown & Clover — The Brighthelm Saga

The first lie Maeve Devlin ever told Rowan of Brighthelm was that she had only agreed to the tour because the palace had asked nicely. It was a ridiculous lie, for several reasons. The palace did not ask nicely. It issued invitations in cream envelopes thick enough to stop a small draught, with embossing that looked as if it had been pressed by a man who believed democracy was a passing fever.

Historical Romance / Family Saga

Hearth

Laura Carpenter

Rowan Glen · Book 1

She was promised a future. She chose a life. Hearth opens the Rowan Glen saga with two people looking across a hard-won Scottish landscape and deciding that home will not be something inherited, granted or guaranteed — it will be something they build. Warm, sweeping and grounded in the practical work of love, family and survival, this is a story about choosing each other when the future has to be made from almost nothing.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

Nearly There God Love Us

Laura Carpenter

Crown & Clover — The Brighthelm Saga

One True Thing The first missed call came through while Rowan of Brighthelm was standing beside a pallet of winter blankets in an aircraft hangar that smelled of diesel, rain, and other people's emergencies. He felt the phone buzz against his hip and did not reach for it. That was how disaster usually entered royal life: not with a scream, not with a headline, not even with a locked door, but with one small vibration ignored because duty had been placed in a man's hands and a photographer had been placed ten feet away to make sure he held it correctly.

Epic Fantasy

The Drowned Oath

Aisling Vire

Dúnmara Chronicles · Book 4

The drowned boat came home without its men at the hour when the tide should have been going out. By then, Cara O’Dálaigh had learned to distrust every mercy that arrived clean. A boat returning was supposed to be a blessing. A small one, perhaps, compared with childbirth, harvest, fever breaking before dawn, or a husband’s hand finding yours beneath a table while men argued law around you as if women were furniture with opinions.

Cozy Romantasy

The Hearth Witch and the Sea Prince

Iseabail Moonan

House Six Romantasy • Book One

Hearth magic meets saltwater royalty in The Hearth Witch and the Sea Prince. A cosy romantasy about belonging, bargains and two very different worlds finding common ground.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

The Night Map

Laura Carpenter

The bog road held its breath as the crowd settled, faces tipped up like flowers. Nell let the hush be the first lesson. She kept her gloves off so the cold could tutor her bones into paying attention, breath slow, shoulders loose. Beside her, Jamie tracked the edges—parking tucked, torches red, path markers wearing their little reflective tags like saints’ medals.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

The Sons of Emergency Light

Laura Carpenter

The first emergency light in the Galway count centre went red at twenty-three minutes past six, and every person beneath it pretended not to notice. That was how counties survived themselves: by giving danger a polite nod, making room for it beside the tea urn, and calling the whole performance community. Maeve Killeen noticed. She always noticed. Door codes, lanyard colours, the way a superintendent held his phone face down when a councillor’s wife passed, the little pause before a clerk said a name that used to be protected by old money.

Scottish Historical Fiction / Historical Romance

The Winter Republic

Alina MacRae

When Eilidh Ross splits the king’s seal and refuses an order for winter evictions, one act of defiance turns the Scottish town of Inverglass into the beginning of a republic. With soldiers closing the roads and ordinary families forced to choose between obedience and survival, Captain Fraser becomes an uneasy ally in a cause neither of them can control—and a dangerous intimacy neither expected.
