Quiet Hands - I Was the Foster He Couldn't Let Go

Rachel A. Brooks

Sinossi

When Marissa aged out of the foster system, she carried only what fit in a bag—and the memory of Gabriel, the quiet, steady guardian who made her feel safe when nothing else did. Years later, she returns to the city for a new job at a nonprofit, determined to start fresh and leave the past behind.
 
She never expected to find Gabriel again. Especially not volunteering at the very same center. Time has changed them both, but the unspoken bond still lingers, pulling them together with every shared glance and every moment too heavy for words.
 
Gabriel has spent years trying to forget the girl who once brought light to his home and grief to his heart when she walked away. Now that she’s back, grown and driven, he finds himself torn between keeping the lines professional… and admitting he never stopped caring.
 
As they work side by side with the youth they once were, old feelings resurface—and so do the fears. Trusting each other again means facing what was left unsaid, and risking the fragile connection they’ve only just rekindled.
 
Can two people who walked away once finally find the courage to stay?
 
Or will silence be the only thing they carry forward once more?

Firewater Blues

Caimh McDonnell

Be careful who you love … 
It’s the year 2000 and while Bunny McGarry is theoretically on sabbatical from the police, he just can’t help sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong. 
Rosie Flint is an old acquaintance of Bunny’s whose boyfriend mysteriously disappears off the face of the Earth. What starts out as a simple missing person’s case soon gets a whole lot more complicated when it emerges that the boyfriend is not who he claimed to be and there are some rather sinister people showing an unhealthy interest in Rosie. 
Bunny is only trying to help a friend but it’s just a matter of time before he finds himself at loggerheads with his colleagues on the force, having to reassess some events from his past and unwittingly involved in a major political coup. 
He won’t be able to do this alone, so it is a good job he can call upon a certain band of kick-ass nuns to do what they do best. And he might even find a use for a twelve-year-old boy who is desperate to escape from an Irish language summer school. 
Firewater Blues is the sixth book in McDonnell’s critically acclaimed bestselling and increasing inaccurately titled Dublin Trilogy. It mixes high-octane thrills with distinct Irish wit.
