Quiet Longing

When she agreed to spend her last summer before college at her cousins' house in Ireland, Charli Moretti never expected to meet anyone like Rhys Doyle. He was the first boy to ever make her heart flutter, and though their lives followed different paths after that fateful summer, she always remembered him as her first everything.

Sixteen years later, after a tumultuous divorce from her abusive husband, Charli is returning to Ireland a shell of the woman she once was. Life has tried to break her many times over, and now all she wants is a fresh start and an even keel. She'll be working as an accountant at her uncle's hotel, but what she doesn't know is that Rhys Doyle works there, too. He's the head of security, in fact, and he's no longer the teenage boy she once knew.

With the rumours flying around that he and his fiancée just broke off their engagement, Charli decides it's best to give Rhys his space. She knows personally how hard it can be when a relationship ends. The problem is, she can't seem to stop running into him, and the more she gets to know the man he's become the more those old feelings start to return.
