Book excerpt: Dublin girl Emma Carey has just embarked on another fresh start—the job of her dreams at Ireland Place, a quirky Irish arts center in a picturesque Victorian mansion near Seattle. At thirty-one, sweet, plucky Emma is finally poised for career success…if she can only avoid her fatal flaw, the one that’s ruined every other job: falling for her boss. A dedicated family man, Declan O’Donoghue is an Irish dad devoted to his children, the lights of his life—so as the new manager at Ireland Place, he could never have guessed his earnest, endearing colleague could take his breath away. Yet Declan knows he and Emma can never be more than friends... Hazel Carey has always been protective of her elder sister—at twenty, she’s the practical one, while Emma is a dreamer. But seeing her sister’s heart-melting fancy for her new boss, Hazel wonders: how to keep Emma from real heartbreak this time? The two novelette-length short stories, The Secret Well and The Christmas Visitor, link Emma, Declan and Hazel to the quaint little village of Ballydara, and bring you deeper into Declan's family life...and Hazel's secrets. With humor and tenderness, Becoming Emma follows Emma's millennial, roundabout journey--begun in The Little Irish Gift Shop-- toward her own happily-ever-after. This heartfelt, charming page-turner, part of a trilogy, is connected to Susan Colleen Browne's Village of Ballydara series, set in a cozy Irish village in the West of Ireland...Emma and Declan’s love story continues in the next Ballydara novel, The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara!
