A dedicated family man, Declan O’Donoghue is an Irish dad devoted to his children, the lights of his life—so as the new manager at Ireland Place, he could never have guessed his earnest, endearing colleague could take his breath away. Yet Declan knows he and Emma can never be more than friends...
Hazel Carey has always been protective of her elder sister—at twenty, she’s the practical one, while Emma is a dreamer. But seeing her sister’s heart-melting fancy for her new boss, Hazel wonders: how to keep Emma from real heartbreak this time?
With humor and tenderness, Becoming Emma continues Emma’s journey from America back to Ireland, toward her own happily-ever-after. This heartfelt, charming page-turner, the sequel to The Little Irish Gift Shop, is part of Susan Colleen Browne’s Village of Ballydara series, set in a quaint little community in the West of Ireland...
Emma and Declan’s love story continues in the next Ballydara novel, The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara!
