Howdy y'all,

I know what you're gonna say... I'm not American and I have no business celebrating the 4th. And you're right, I'm not and I don't. However, my little boy is American and for those of you who were here last year listening to me waxing lyrical and wailing about how I didn't get to celebrate - you already know how much I love the 4th.

When we left the US in 2016, we were resolved to take at the very least July 4th and Thanksgiving celebrations with us. Even if it's just the three of us in house making smores over our gas stove top.

The first year we were back in Ireland was amazing, we had a huge outdoor party complete with a bounce house/bouncy castle and a big cook-out, and as much as I'd love to do that again this year, I really, really. wouldn't. The idea alone makes me feel sick.

Thankfully I have a lovely friend who is letting me invade her yard for a bbq on the 4th, otherwise I'd be crying into my tequila again this year!

For those of you who celebrate it - what's your fave dish? Do you have an epic pasta salad that will blow my mind? I *loved* making walking tacos last year, they went down a treat.

Other than the upcoming holiday, which I'm psyched for, things are in full swing for the wonder that is Good Vibes. ARCs are LOVING these short stories and I'm so glad, this book has something for everyone, and if you haven't yet preordered, you might wanna think about doing that. It's easy, just click here.

So tell me... What's your favorite holiday of the year?

Until next time,

Intimate Strangers

Is there such a thing as too perfect?

Lisa Millar wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a guy on the Internet. But she did. Other than living over five thousand miles away in America, AJ Williams is seemingly her perfect match. Strikingly handsome, musically talented, plays hockey and has a typical college-guy life. In a moment of carpe diem, Lisa flies from Ireland to Alabama to surprise her internet-beau and finds herself face to face with an inconceivable reality that she couldn’t possibly have prepared for. How well can you truly know someone you meet online?

Will true love win out, or will AJ’s secret life be too much for Lisa to bear?

Game Changer

AJ Williams wasn’t supposed to fall in love with a girl on the internet. But he did.

Other than living over five thousand miles away in Northern Ireland, Lisa Millar is seemingly his perfect match. AJ can’t quite believe his luck, not only is she beautiful, but she has an appreciation for both music and hockey - two of his favorite things.

Surprised by Lisa turning up unannounced in Alabama, AJ is under pressure to deal with the issue at hand.

Should he risk losing her, come clean and tell her the truth?

Or should he try to keep his secret under wraps?

Will true love win out? Or will AJ’s secret be too much for Lisa to bear?

Four Letter Feelings

Jeremy Lewis has just returned from a year in Europe, ready to start college in Alabama and pursue his dream career in the National Hockey League. Other than boring school work, he’s eager to play hockey, hang out with his new teammates and maybe even rekindle an old flame when Chelsea Davis unexpectedly reappears in his life.

Life is looking pretty darn peachy.

But when his world is turned upside down by a tragic loss, merely surviving each day feels like an achievement. How can he get through college and keep his budding career on track when all he wants to do is drink and squander his parent’s fortune? Can he convince Chelsea he’s a changed man when he seems so intent on his own destruction?
