The Historian’s Heart (Love in Dooncarra, #0)

A forgotten archive. A guarded secret. And a love story decades in the making!

Historian Clare Donnelly arrives in the seaside village of Dooncarra with one goal: prove her worth by organizing the town’s neglected archives. But her work uncovers more than dusty records, it reveals fragile pieces of history that hold the key to the Dooncarra Community Renewal Grant.

Standing firmly in her way is Eoin Murphy, the town’s guarded local historian. Eoin knows exactly how much weight the archives carry, and he fears that reopening old stories will complicate more than just memories. It could destroy the town’s future.

Forced to work together, Clare and Eoin clash over what should be preserved and what should remain hidden. But when a bundle of forgotten 1940s love letters comes to light, their professional rivalry begins to thaw into a slow-burn romance. As the deadline for the grant looms, they must decide: is protecting the past worth risking their hearts?

Fall in love with Dooncarra in this heartwarming tale of secrets, second chances, and the power of the written word.
