Emerald Isle University Series
Book #2
Kayleigh O’Reilly has worked hard to have the perfect life. Graduating at the top of her class, her dream of becoming a writer is within reach when she's awarded a spot in the renowned Creative Writing Program at Emerald Isle University. Just as all of her dreams are coming true, her world is turned upside down when her boyfriend breaks up with her the day she leaves for Ireland.
In the land of Saints and Scholars, Kayleigh begins her freshman year broken-hearted and in need of inspiration. Hope comes in the form of Seamus Murphy, the local fisherman and ruggedly handsome poet, and his offer to rent a small uninhibited cottage by the sea so she can focus on her writing. Feeling free for the first time, Kayleigh begins a journey with renewed faith and hope in the dreams blooming deep in her heart.
Inspired by the enchanting small town of Cloverdale, Kayleigh accepts a position at the local newspaper. The future is bright until she uncovers a deadly plot to revenge a decades old feud. Danger looms over the town and Kayleigh must decide who she can trust and if true love is worth the risk. As the storm threatens to destroy, will Kayleigh finally be able to find the words to write her own story?

"Colleen Marie crafts atmospheric settings through her words. Her love of nature, animals, Ireland, and most of all, Jesus, shines through at all times. I'm glad I read this one!"

“The O'Reilly sisters are good, well-developed characters with unique personalities and a sisterly relationship that brings you right in. I appreciated Kayleigh's faith journey as much as Teagan's. I love Colonel, the Irish wolfhound, and his part in the story. Humor is woven throughout the story and it's a fun and captivating read. A sweet romance in a beautiful Irish setting. Highly recommend! I can't wait to read the next installment of this fun series!”

“Kayleigh is the second sister of the O'Reilly's and the one that I feel the closest to in real life. Her journey is one that starts with heartbreak and she grows in strength throughout the story. I love her and Seamus together. They encourage and bring out the best in each other, a clear sign of a healthy relationship…Another great sweet romance by Colleen Marie! I can't wait for the third installment telling the youngest sister's story.”
