Grace Kelly can't escape the draws of Emerald Bay; the sweeping cliffs, the sparkling sea and her gorgeous new flatmate. The problem is, she has to keep him a secret from her family. And she isn't the only one in the village with something to hide this summer

Grace really needs someone to help cover the rent for her London flat, but Christopher Dorrance? Everyone in the little Irish village of Emerald Bay knows about the feud between their families, though no one knows how it started. But, both being in a tight spot, they try and make it work, swearing to tell no one back home. Until a mutual friend and her son in the bay are left homeless after a storm. Grace and Christopher must head back to Ireland to help together.

As they flesh out their idea to raise money for their friend with a village charity concert, Chriss blue eyes light up. Even though they have to hide out for every planning session, and after all her father has said about the Dorrances, Grace can't believe how kind he is. Soon sparks are flying as they laugh together, chasing dairy cows from a field to set up the stage. Could Chris be more than just a flatmate?

But their hopes that a good cause will soften the hostility between their dads are dashed. The two men still argue constantly. And with a happy future for their friend depending on the concert running smoothly, the truth behind the feud threatens to come out and destroy everything.

Could the events of the past destroy any chance of a future for Chris and Grace? Or, if Grace follows her heart, could she finally heal the rift between their families?
