The Hopeful Romantic
关于此电子书
In this heartfelt, deeply romantic novel, Kerry McCormack, a young Dublin wife and mother, longs to trade her office job for a simpler life. At 33, she has an outwardly successful marriage to steady, quiet Stephen. A devoted father to her son, he's had an abiding passion for her since the first time he saw her.
Yet after a recent, shattering loss, Kerry and Stephen have grown apart. Immersed in his high-powered career to bury his grief, Stephen struggles with his secret fear that he'll never be the love of her life. And Kerry's lifelong dream to live in the country, and flee her predictable city routine, is only creating more tension between them.
When Kerry gets the chance to visit a lovely little farm, she anticipates an idyllic country holiday. Instead, her marriage--and everything she knows about herself--is turned upside down.
As the winter holidays approach, Kerry will risk everything to give her family a second chance—but can she and Stephen recapture the passion they once shared in time for Christmas?
