Lilac Lane
(Book)

At the heart of Lilac Lane is Keira Malone, who raised her three children alone after her first marriage broke apart, and who, after years of guarding her heart, finally finds love again. But that love is short-lived when her fiancé suffers a fatal heart attack. Grieving and unsure of what's next, Keira agrees to move from Dublin to Chesapeake Shores to spend time with her daughter and her new granddaughter, as well as to help her son-in-law with his Irish pub, O'Briens. She rents a charming cottage on Lilac Lane, where her neighbor is none other than Bryan Laramie, the brusque and moody chef at the pub. But things get real when Bryan's long-lost daughter, whom he hasn't seen since she was a baby, shows up out of the blue. As Bryan and Keira each delve into their pasts, reopening wounds, the rest of the town is gearing up for the Fall Festival Irish Stew cook-off, and making no bones about whose side they're on.
