Work hard, stay focused, breathe. Absolutely no getting dragged into parish drama.\u003cbr\u003eThen she runs into Cian O'Malley.\u003cbr\u003eCian is the Claddaghmore Gaels' captain-the man who once knew every version of her heart. Now he's holding a broke club together with tape, stubbornness, and loyalty that hurts to look at. Their county board would rather they disappear quietly. Their fixtures list feels like punishment. And the town is tired in that brave way tired people are.\u003cbr\u003eWhen one last reckless idea might be the thing that saves both the club and Harbour House, Aisling and Cian throw open the doors and pull a whole parish with them: aunties with clipboards, dads on steward duty, kids with too-big hopes, and neighbours who remember when the lights meant something.\u003cbr\u003eWeather turns. Trolls push. Old wounds reopen. And somewhere between mussels in white wine and midnight problem-solving, two people who grew up too fast learn what it means to come home on purpose.\u003cbr\u003eCladdaghmore Gaels is a heartfelt Irish small-town romance about burnout, found family, parish politics, and falling in love like adults-slowly, honestly, and with both hands open.\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for readers who love: - Second-chance romance\u003cbr\u003e- Irish small-town settings\u003cbr\u003e- Emotional, medium-heat romance\u003cbr\u003e- Found family, community, and competence\u003cbr\u003e- Sports romance with real-world stakes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Carpenter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798243069236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Laura Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171540836607,"sku":"9798243069236","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claddaghmore-gaels-laura-carpenter-9798243069236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
