The Half of It

Tough but tender Juniper Martin should have tossed that DNA test. A frustrating workday and one too many cosmos later, she mails a sample that unearths her half-sister in Ireland. Raised in a broken home, Juniper grants trust sparingly. But when she’s assigned a career-changing article about the findings, Juniper travels to the small town of Ballygrá to meet Cara and attend her wedding.

After Aidan McCarthy’s brother died, he dropped out of postgrad to help his parents. Only his best friend Cara knows he wants to pursue photography and not pour pints at his Da’s pub forever, but duty to family comes first. He desperately needs something—or someone—to inspire him and breathe new life into his old dreams.

When Aidan and Juniper must work together and help with Cara’s wedding preparation, neither can deny the chemistry between them. But Juniper can’t stay in beautiful Ballygrá forever—and when a discovery calls into question everything she’s worked for, she must decide how much to open her heart to the family she never knew she wanted and to the man she never anticipated falling for.
