The Hartigans of Kilmurrin

Five feel-good romances set in Kilmurrin, a windswept village on the Connemara coast with heather, gorse, a stone harbour and a lighthouse, where everyone knows your business and the weather has opinions.

Each book follows a different member of the Hartigan family as love turns up at the least convenient moment possible. Expect banter, a big meddling family, found family, one deeply unhelpful goat, and a guaranteed happy ending every time.
