Across the Harbour

Aoife & Luca’s story

Aoife Hartigan does not lose. It’s a matter of record.

Coming soon

Forced onto annual leave, Kilmurrin’s most formidable solicitor has every intention of resting. Then Luca Moretti, the television chef across the harbour, starts taking the Salt & Heather’s dinner trade, attracting every gull in Connemara and applying to put a terrace on the village’s oldest working ground.

Aoife declares war in writing.

Then her grandmother retires from the annual stew competition, Aoife is entered in her place, and the only person who can teach her to cook is the enemy.

Late-night lessons in his kitchen come with rules, signed and witnessed. No discussing the planning application. No winking. But Luca is hiding more than he’s saying, and Aoife has never in her life been able to leave a thing alone.

Some arguments are worth losing.
