For Ria Joyce, love belongs in the past. But when she spots her ex-boyfriend Jon Donnelly via the Dublin–New York Portal, she wonders if it’s fate. Especially as it falls on her late husband’s anniversary, just before Christmas. Then her daughter Amelie posts a photo of Jon, snapped at the Portal, together with a plea to help find him and, to Ria’s horror, the post goes viral. When Nick Newland, host of the popular podcast, Sex and the Single Dad, asks Ria to appear on his show, she reluctantly agrees. And after Jon, AKA American thriller writer JL Walker, gets in touch, Nick sweeps her off to New York, to document the reunion for his hit podcast. There, old feelings resurface. Amid twinkling lights, snowy streets and reawakened memories, Jon offers a second chance. But the mistakes of the past must be confronted before she can move forward into an unexpected future. Will Ria take the ultimate leap of faith this Christmas?

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
