The Unexpected Prince Charming

Art teacher Angie Newcastle’s life is all monotone. She wasn’t always this dull. She’d been an up-and-coming artist with the world at her feet. But after contracting the Wrong Man Syndrome and spending years doubting herself, she no longer recognizes herself. When she loses her job, she can’t afford to keep ignoring the obvious: Her life needs a serious overhaul. And she knows exactly where to start: in Ireland, teaching art classes to her ex-pat cousin’s village community.

Megan Bennet no longer believes in fairy tales. Her life certainly isn’t one. Widowed at 30-ish with a young son isn’t the happily ever after she’d envisioned when she was a kid. She needs a new fairy godmother. Except now that she’s living in the quaint Irish town of Caisleán, she can feel magic in the air, and it’s not just the local matchmaking ghost. It’s in everyone she meets - especially Kade Donovan, the owner and operator of a pony therapy farm. 

Ellie Buchanan has one goal: to share her stained-glass creations with the world. She's lucky to be blessed with a billionaire father who encourages her dream. He’s treasured all of the art she’s made: from her macaroni necklace in kindergarten to every piece in her Etsy store. Literally every piece—because in trying to be supportive, he buys everything she makes. She has only one patron—her dad. How can she share her art if he insists on owning all of it?

Boston born and bred, Kathleen O’Connor knows all about toughness. Thanks to her pop, she can bend scrap metal. Thanks to her seven older brothers, she's not scared to fight for what she wants. And thanks to her exes, she's wise to the illusion of happily ever after. Toughness comes easy to Kathleen, and so does bending tough materials into art.

Bets O’Hanlon is a late bloomer. It took way too long to come into her own. She raised her boys and buried her husband, and somewhere along the way she forgot about herself.

World famous glass artist Sophie Giombetti is headed to Ireland to grab a new lease on life. She’s put her divorce behind her and wants a supportive community to raise her daughter. The quaint town of Caisleán, where she’s agreed to design a major installation at the local arts center, more than fits the bill. Best of all, she’s sure the verdant Irish hills will give her new inspiration.

Taylor McGowan desperately needs a fresh start—like stat. Being a reporter used to do it for her. Of course it was Plan B, after she failed art school. But at least she can put her mark on the world doing it, because the one meaningful thing she is doing is so secret no one knows. No one can know. When she’s offered the job as the media director of an Irish arts center known for its evocative programs, she jumps at the opportunity. She can make a difference for the artists there, and it gives her secret project extra fire it’s never had before.
