The Keeper of Harbour House

He is fighting to protect his family's legacy. She is determined to stop him destroying hers. Neither expected the battle to become personal.

Finn Kelleher has spent his life repairing the damage left by other people. Quiet, controlled and fiercely loyal, he is the brother Harbour House relies upon when something goes wrong. But the luxury Irish hotel's future now depends on a controversial coastal access route-and Finn has no intention of allowing an outside consultant to stand in his way.

Environmental engineer Aisling Keane has built her career by trusting evidence, not powerful men with charming smiles and expensive estates. Sent to investigate the proposed development on Ireland's wild west coast, she discovers protected nesting grounds, conflicting surveys and signs that someone has been manipulating the approval process.

Her findings could stop the project and cost Harbour House everything.

From their first encounter, Finn and Aisling clash over boundaries, loyalty and who has the right to decide what the land becomes. Forced to work together through site inspections, hostile meetings and dangerous Atlantic weather, their professional rivalry ignites an attraction neither of them can control.

One reckless night should be enough.

Instead, Finn begins imagining a future with the one woman capable of dismantling all his careful plans. Aisling knows becoming involved with him could compromise her investigation, destroy her reputation and leave her dependent on a family whose interests oppose her own.

Then a forged objection threatens Aisling's career, a hidden betrayal places Harbour House at risk, and a violent storm traps them at the centre of a crisis that could cost far more than the development.

Finn has always believed love means protecting the people who matter, even if they never know the price. Aisling has spent her life proving that independence means needing no one. To save the land, they must uncover the truth together. To build a future, they must decide whether love can create freedom instead of taking it away.

Set among windswept cliffs, protected wildlife and the atmospheric beauty of Ireland's west coast, The Keeper of Harbour House is a very steamy Irish opposites-attract romance featuring professional rivals, forced proximity, forbidden attraction, family secrets, a protective Irish hero, a fiercely independent heroine and an emotional happy-ever-after.

Book Three in The Irish Brothers Series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone romance.
