Twelve-year-old Harp Delaney is an unusual child, quiet and intelligent far beyond her years. She would rather spend her days in the library of the grand Georgian house that she sees as her home than playing on the streets with other children. Her mother, Rose, is the reserved and ladylike housekeeper at the Cliff House. The local women envy her grace and poise while the men admire her beauty. She behaves not as a servant should, but as someone who belongs at the ancestral home of eccentric loner Henry Devereaux.

For all the lonely and not-so-lonely people

Publisher's Summary
An Irish guesthouse, three sisters, and their bossy-boots mammy in a laugh-out-loud series about the trials and tribulations of the O’Mara family....
If Aisling O’Mara hadn’t winged her way home to the Emerald Isle to take over the running of the family guesthouse, she’d never have met Marcus and her heart wouldn’t have been broken. She’s been trying to put her life back together since he left, but now he’s back and says he’s sorry. Can she trust him again?
Una Brennan’s booked into the guesthouse she used to walk past each morning when she was a girl, full of hopes and dreams. She left Dublin more than 50 years ago, vowing she’d never set foot in the city again. Why did she leave and what’s brought her back?
The guest, just like the customer, is always right but when Aisling is on the sharp end of the cantankerous Una’s tongue, it leads to her discovering things aren’t always what they seem and sometimes opening your heart to love can have unexpected outcomes.
Witty, sad, and insightful with a touch of romance. Come and stay at O’Mara’s.
