A Song for Orla
A shared snowstorm, a rekindled passion, and a love worth the wait.
Orla Keane, ever-optimistic primary school teacher, never expected to be snowed in with a brooding stranger. But when a winter storm sweeps through Dooncarra, she finds herself stranded alongside Ronan Hayes, a reclusive musician hiding out in a cottage on the edge of town. Determined to lift his spirits, Orla’s warmth and charm clash with Ronan’s icy reserve.
As the snow piles up outside, so do the unspoken truths between them. Orla’s relentless cheer begins to melt Ronan’s defenses, coaxing him to rediscover his love for music. From snowball fights to late-night confessions, the two opposites find themselves drawn to one another in ways neither expected. When Orla uncovers an unfinished song Ronan has been secretly working on, she takes a leap of faith and performs it for him, sparking a creative fire he thought he’d lost forever. Now, Ronan must find the courage to share the song he’s written for Orla—and his heart—during the town’s community concert.
A Song for Orla is a cozy, heartfelt romance about second chances, the healing power of music, and finding love in the most unexpected of places. Perfect for fans of small-town charm, forced proximity, and clean, wholesome contemporary romance!
