About the book
When Grace arrives in the remote village of Roone Bay, soaked from the Atlantic rain and clutching the key to her grandmother’s abandoned cottage, she expects refuge. Instead, she finds crumbling walls, silence, and the weight of memories she can’t escape.
With her daughter Olivia depending on her, Grace has no choice but to rebuild. The villagers offer cautious welcome, and carpenter Sean Murphy lends steady support, but Grace soon learns that even the most peaceful places hold secrets. As she uncovers fragments of her grandmother Caitlin’s past, unsettling truths rise to the surface—echoes that threaten to upend the fragile life Grace is fighting to create.
Set against the raw beauty of Ireland’s coast, The Irish Key is a story of resilience, buried history, and the choices that shape us. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric settings, family mysteries, and the pull of the sea.
