Legal Thriller

A City of Small Mercies

Keir Devlin

Triage The first thing Róisín Hart heard when she stepped into the custody corridor was a man shouting that he knew his rights. The second thing was her mother’s voice, coming from somewhere behind the vending machine, saying, “I’m not being dramatic, love, but if you don’t ring me before eleven, I do assume you’re dead in a ditch.” Róisín stopped so sharply that the heel of her boot clipped the skirting board.

Holiday Family Fiction

A Hearth for the Holidays

Nollaig Caird

The letter arrived on Christmas Eve with no stamp, no return address, and ash caught in the fold like a secret that had survived a fire. Orla Devane knew better than to touch it. She had spent fifteen years building a life out of that exact discipline: do not touch what can burn you, do not ask questions that have already cost you a home, do not go back to Emerald Harbour simply because an old woman dies and the dead get sentimental with timing.

Protector Romance

A Place To Be Safe

Skye MacLeod

The white blanket was the only thing in the cottage that had not learned to fear a door. Nessa Ward folded it once, then twice, pressing the cotton into a square so neat it looked like a promise made by someone more innocent than her. Luca had carried it from bed to chair to the floor beside the kettle, dragging one corner over the old pine boards until it collected dust, crumbs, and the kind of ordinary evidence she had once believed she would be allowed to keep.

Psychological Thriller

A Seat Saved in the Visitor Lot

Clara Vey

At eight forty-three on Thursday morning, Sive Moran repainted the white line around a parking space reserved for a woman who had not visited the prison in fourteen months. Nobody had asked her to. That was important. If somebody had asked, there would have been a form.

Small-Town Romance

All the Little Safeties

Laura Carpenter

Ana Byrne learned the weight of a secret at half past six on a Tuesday morning, standing barefoot on the cold tile of her bathroom with the sea still black beyond the window and a white plastic stick balanced on the rim of the sink like a verdict too small for the crime. The house was silent around her. Not peaceful. Silence, Ana had decided years ago, was only peace when someone had chosen it kindly.

Celtic Fantasy

Ashes at Blackwater

Music Industry Romance

Before the Last Song

Ivy Donnachaidh

The microphone waited under a square of amber light, old chrome polished to a shine that made every secret in the Grand Ole Hall look expensive. Tate McGraw stood three feet from it with his guitar strap cutting a familiar line across his shoulder and his wedding ring hidden in the watch pocket of his black jeans, because some sins were too small for confession and too large for comfort.

Book Club Fiction

Before the Quiet Threshold

Fiadh Callister

The applause broke before Orla Wren reached the microphone. Not faded, not faltered, but broke, as if somebody had taken the room by both shoulders and shaken the manners out of it. One moment three hundred people were standing beneath the glass roof of the civic hall, clapping for the woman who had saved Threshold House from demolition; the next, a stranger in a green wool coat had lifted a brass strip from the ceremonial plinth and held it over her head like evidence at a trial.

Science Fiction

E. M. Keane

Time-Split Hearts · Book 1

At 19:07 on Blackwater Bridge, a temporal overlap opens and Elias Mercer comes face to face with Nora Bell—the woman he remembers as his wife, and who does not remember him at all. A handwritten note, a watch and physical traces from another timeline suggest their impossible marriage was real, while the lab studying the anomaly grows dangerously interested in what can cross between worlds. Blackwater Paradox is a time-slip romantic suspense novel about memory, evidence and whether love can survive when time itself keeps rewriting the record.

Romantic Comedy

Borrowed Honeymoon

Laura Carpenter

Evidence The morning I finally take the tickets out again, I do it like I’m handling evidence. They’ve been living in the back of my handbag for months, wedged behind receipts and lip balm, as if hiding them could make them less real. Two names printed in neat black type. Two seats. Two weeks in Venice. A honeymoon that never happened because my fiancé left before the wedding and the world kept moving as if heartbreak were a weather system.

Domestic Suspense

Child in Negative Space

Ciaran Mercer

Aoife tasted smoke long before she saw the fire. Even with the window jammed shut, it seeped in under the crooked frame, the way everything from outside did in this house – arguments on the street, sirens, laughter, the boys singing sectarian songs when they were drunk enough to forget the neighbours’ politics. She lay flat on her back, one hand spread over the small, hard curve of her belly, and watched the orange flicker crawling up her ceiling.

Psychological Horror

Come Home, Mara Vale

Lachlan Ashen

Holiday Romance

Emergency Contact Ex

Aoife Winters

Emergency Contact: Ex Aoife Winters Emergency Contact Ex · Book 1

The first time Maeve Callaghan became someone’s emergency contact, she was half drunk on cheap prosecco and completely sober about the disaster she was marrying. Not that she was marrying him, exactly. Not then. Back then, Finn O’Rourke was twenty-eight, beautiful in a way that annoyed sensible women, and standing in the corridor outside Studio Three with a bleeding eyebrow, a microphone lead round his ankle, and the kind of grin that could get a man forgiven before the crime had even finished introducing itself.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

Endless Adoration

Laura Carpenter

Days to Come Saga • · Book 5

The kitchen was a riot of sound and motion, the kind of chaos that came from four children all insisting on being in the same space at once. The twins were shrieking over a spilled bag of flour, their older brother drumming a wooden spoon against the counter in protest of not being heard, and the baby, barely toddling, wobbled toward the oven with dangerous intent.

Medical-Legal Thriller

Every Quiet Thing

E. L. Doherty

The sea had a way of pretending it was innocent. From the lane above the cliffs it looked almost gentle — slate-grey, flecked with pale foam, breathing in and out like something asleep. The wind did the loud work, flinging rain sideways, rattling the gorse, making a song of the wire fences. Down below, the tide kept its own counsel. Nora Fallon walked that path with her coat pulled tight and her hair half loose, as if she’d forgotten she was meant to be careful.

Missing Person Thriller

Everyone Saw Her Leave

Aidan Kerrigan

Emerald Harbour Missing • · Book 1

1989 By half nine the summer carnival had stopped pretending it belonged to children. The toddlers with painted cheeks had been carried home sticky with sugar. The parish raffle had ended in a dispute over a ham nobody admitted wanting. Teenagers had taken possession of the grass behind Saint Brigid’s Hall, the older boys leaning against the railings as if they had personally invented cigarettes, the girls moving in bright packs between the music tent and the harbour road.

Cyber Romantic Suspense / Tech Thriller

Firewall Heart

Rowan Kincaid

Green Metronome The monitor’s heartbeat went from a green metronome to a jagged hymn and then to a flat white line that sang with a sound Helena Kincaid had spent a decade training her body not to flinch at. NICU. Red wash lighting. A nurse with a halo of flyaway curls whispered keep breathing, little love, and the generator coughed like an old man clearing smoke.

Contemporary Women's Fiction

Fragment of Us

Laura Carpenter

First Light Ciara remembered forever as a word Daniel had once spoken without ceremony, in a doorway dampened by rain, when neither of them yet understood how memory could turn a promise into disputed evidence. The kettle worried at the quiet behind her. Rain silvered the window, and the flat seemed to gather itself around the question he had brought home. Daniel stood with rain darkening his shoulders, steady and uncertain at once, as though courage were simply the refusal to leave before hearing the answer.

Science Fiction

Glitch Hearts

Cian Rutherford

The rain started before the ferry lights came on. By half six the windows of Doyle’s Spar were silvered with Atlantic mist, the whole street outside blurred into wet halos and brake lights and people running with hoods over their heads like the weather had personally offended them. Clonmara always looked half haunted in weather like this. Not dangerous. Just old.

Romantic Suspense / Celebrity Protection

Guarded Lights

Laura Carpenter

Sentinel Files · Book 2

Protection is supposed to create distance. In Guarded Lights, celebrity, danger and unwanted closeness make that impossible in a romantic suspense story about trust under watch.

Crime & Thriller

In Her Defence

Keir Devlin

The Gavel Falls The first time Cassidy O’Connell sees Aidan Voss, he’s not in a courtroom. Between scenes, the city keeps its own ledger: small kindnesses credited against bureaucratic cruelties, a balance that never quite zeroes. Cassidy learns to count it anyway, because accounting is how you keep doors open and people brave. The detective’s chair is an argument disguised as furniture—too low, so you feel large and guilty reaching down to meet him.

Medical-Legal Thriller

Lets Go Counsel

E. L. Doherty

The gavel cracked once—sharp, echoing against the wood-paneled walls—and every muscle in Nina Daley’s body went rigid. She told herself it was muscle memory. Pavlov’s dog with a baritone hammer. The sound that had ended her life once before. Her fingers brushed the worn leather of the briefcase at her side, a second-hand buy from a consignment shop near Dupont Circle, the place that catered to the daughters of ambassadors who didn’t care where the money came from.

Mother–Daughter Fiction

Mother of the Bride and Other Wars

Fiona Ainslie

The first war began with a seating plan and a dead woman’s handwriting. It was not the dramatic sort of war, not at first. No one threw a vase, no one fainted beautifully into the arms of a man with a square jaw and an inconveniently available inheritance, and no one announced a secret pregnancy over smoked salmon. It began, as most family wars do, with a woman standing alone in a kitchen at midnight, holding a piece of paper that should have been blank.

Belfast Crime Thriller / Romantic Suspense

Night Harbour

Rowan Kincaid

Belfast Night Crimes · Book 1

At that hour Belfast belonged to wind, black water, and the sort of men who mistook darkness for a deed. The cranes loomed over the docks like iron saints gone feral, long arms braced above the shipping lanes while the river shoved oil-dark against the pilings. Rust, salt, diesel, old bad decisions - the whole harbour reeked of them. She should not have answered the phone.

Dark Romance

Obedience Rule

Ciara Voss

Rules of Power · Book 1

Equestrian Romantic Suspense / Sports Romance

Reinbound

Keela Northmere

After a championship accident shatters elite rider Maeve Callaghan’s certainty, recovery pulls her back into a world of horses, family pressure, sabotage and surveillance—where trust must be rebuilt carefully enough to become a choice rather than another command.

Cozy Mystery

Scones, Secrets, and One Dead Councillor

Orla Ashdown

The first scone to cause a death in Emerald Harbour was not, strictly speaking, poisoned. Molly Fenn would later be very firm on that point, because a woman might survive gossip, debt, heartbreak, and one catastrophic fringe cut, but she could not survive a village deciding her almond-and-blackcurrant scones were murder weapons. The scone was innocent. The man beside it was another matter entirely.

Paranormal Fantasy

Splinter Bride

Isla Vire

The House That Kept Its Teeth The first thing Seraphina Reed knew after the wedding was that the house was breathing. Not properly. Not like a living thing with lungs and mercy. It breathed the way old wood breathed in storms—swelling, complaining, remembering every hand that had ever struck it and every secret it had been asked to swallow. The sound moved through the walls in a long, damp groan, and for one sick second she thought she was still in the church, still standing under the white avalanche of flowers with the veil pinned too tightly to her scalp and every eye in County Clare waiting for her to say yes.

Summer of Almost Everything

THE LION'S LOST HEIR

Bridie Byrne McGuinness

The needle liked to sing when Willow worked—thin notes of metal and breath that soothed brides and steadied her own hands. Today it trembled. She tightened the corset laces the way her mother had taught her—two pulls, one whisper—and the bodice closed like a secret around the young woman’s ribs. Outside the atelier’s front glass, two men in municipal jackets loitered beside a clipboard and a strip of yellow tape that was not quite tape, not yet.

Epic Romantasy / Political Fantasy

The Blade-Vow Queen

Elowen Ravenscar

Contemporary Romantic Suspense / Infrastructure Thriller

The Last Sleeper

Keir Devlin

Infrastructure engineer Isla MacCrae catches an abnormal tilt at a rain-battered viaduct while management calls it weather and reputational risk. Coastguard rescuer Ewan hears the danger too.

Marriage Fiction

The Shape of a Marriage

Mairéad Quinn

The ring had been left in the sugar bowl, which was either a kindness or a crime, and Nóra Ríordan could not yet decide which. She found it at six nineteen on a Tuesday morning while the house still wore its night sounds: the boiler muttering behind the press, the old stair settling its bones, the sea beyond the harbour wall breathing in the dark like someone trying not to cry.

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.

Romantic Suspense / Family-Safety Romance

The Ties That Made Us

Laura Carpenter

Devlin Grove

Four years after Cillian Devlin left Belfast at seventeen for a life in London, he returns to Devlin Grove and finds Saoirse Tierney raising the twins he never knew.
