Overview

On a storm-lashed stretch of the Irish coast, everyone knows everyone. They remember your first kiss, your worst mistake, and the promise you swore you'd never break. She never meant to stay. Not after everything that happened. But grief has a way of anchoring you to places you swore you'd escape, and now she's back in the town that still knows her name - and the man she never truly let go of. He's changed. Quieter. More careful. Carrying his own scars from the years they spent apart. The chemistry between them hasn't faded, but neither has the damage they did to each other. And neither of them is brave enough to pretend this reunion is accidental. Between late-night conversations, familiar streets, and the chain she still wears around her finger, they begin to circle each other again - cautiously this time. No games. No pretending. Just two people learning what it really means to choose each other when control isn't a weapon, but a boundary. When love isn't possession, but permission. Because what they had before was messy. Passionate. Consuming. What they're building now is slower. Stronger. Safer. And somehow, even more dangerous. But small towns don't forget. Secrets surface. Old betrayals resurface. And the closer they get, the more the past demands its reckoning. Forgiveness isn't easy. Trust is harder. And love? Love requires a kind of bravery neither of them is sure they still possess. A Chain Around Her Finger is a deeply emotional Irish coastal romance about second chances, consent, and the quiet power of choosing yourself before choosing someone else. It's about learning when to hold on - and when to finally let go. Perfect for readers who love: - slow-burn second chances - emotionally layered romance - small-town tension - flawed characters finding their way back - stories where love is built, not rushed This is a story about the promises we make when we're young... and the courage it takes to keep them - or break them - when we finally grow up.
