Christmas Bells & Ballycove Vows

A grumpy pub owner and a sunshine principal—one Christmas wedding neither planned.
Pub owner Seamus Gallagher prefers peace, pints, and zero tinsel. Primary-school principal Sorcha Ní Riain runs on lists, glitter glue, and Christmas cheer. When Father Colm wins a radio contest that funds exactly one Christmas Eve wedding and Ballycove votes the longtime sparring partners to tie the knot, the pair strike a strictly practical bargain: save Seamus’s leaking pub roof, secure Sorcha’s new school wing, then part ways. But mistletoe, snowstorms, and a meddling village have merrier plans for their reluctant hearts.

From rehearsal disasters to supply shortages, Seamus and Sorcha tackle every crisis with trademark banter—until a roaring Atlantic storm tears the pub roof apart and plunges Ballycove into darkness a week before the ceremony. Terrified that Seamus will lose everything to keep a vow he never wanted, Sorcha cancels the wedding. Walking away would protect their pride—and the town’s prize money—but destroy the fierce loyalty and unexpected tenderness blooming beneath their bickering. As Ballycove’s now-married couples rally to rebuild, Seamus and Sorcha must choose: end a sham before it starts…or claim a love bright enough to light the whole Wild Atlantic Way.

Christmas Eve is coming—will the bells ring for two stubborn hearts, or fall silent forever?
