The Things We Always Wanted

How far do we go for love when worlds collide? Clare Harrison has always felt invisible to everyone other than her grandmother. While she has everything she wants in her career, something is missing: someone to love and a family of her own. Pete Fitzgerald has family. Too much. The Fitzgeralds are loud, intrusive and always trying to set him up with the daughters of family friends. As he completes his PhD and contemplates moving back to his hometown, he's determined to meet 'the one' and hopes she can cope with his overbearing family. When Clare and Pete meet, they are instantly drawn to one another. They want the same things in life, but as Pete's family unwittingly intrudes on his relationship and Clare's worries for her grandmother's health mount, their worlds begin to seem further apart than either of them thought. Can they juggle the needs of their families to give them everything they always wanted, or are there too many differences to overcome? The Things We Always Wanted is a romantic prequel novella to the Café Chronicles series by award-winning author, Megan Mayfair.
