A Merry Irish Christmas

A surprise visit home, an unexpected houseguest, a Christmas she'll never forget...

Mary hasn't told her family that she's coming home for Christmas. After breaking up with her boyfriend just before the holidays, she decides to surprise them and get a last-minute flight home. But when she arrives in Ireland after a long journey, she discovers her family have had the same idea, and gone to New York to surprise her.

To make matters infinitely worse, they've done a house swap with grumpy (but sexy) New Yorker Evan, who makes it clear he doesn't want her, or her Christmas cheer, around.

Mary is determined to keep the festive spirit alive, so she proposes that she and Evan each get one day where the other has to do things their way. But can Evan put aside his grouchiness to embrace a proper, Irish Christmas? And how will Mary cope with a day of sulking and moody walks on the beach?

One thing's certain: as the temperature drops outside, things start to heat up inside the McBride house. Maybe it'll be a merry Christmas after all ...

A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy full of Irish charm and festive romance, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Catherine Walsh.
