When Autumn Leaves Turn Gold

A Sweet Friends-to-Lovers Irish Romance

By: Maeve McBride

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One harvest fair. One looming goodbye. And a friendship balanced on the edge of forever.

Primary school teacher Aoife Flynn has poured everything into Ballycove's autumn harvest fair: the bunting, the bonfires, the Gaelic songs, all of it. Her best friend since childhood, Finn Murphy, paramedic and dare-devil cliff-rescue volunteer, steps in to help. What Aoife doesn't know is that Finn has a letter in his pocket: a dream job in Galway that could take him sixty miles and a lifetime away.

Between bonfire rehearsals and cider-sweet sunsets, something shifts.

Long-buried feelings spark in the golden autumn light. Every stolen glance feels brighter and more painful than falling leaves. Aoife's greatest fear isn't losing Finn to a city ambulance, it's losing him to regret if she asks him to stay. Finn would trade big-city glory for a future beside Aoife, but he can't ask her to shoulder his stalled ambition.

When a cliff-side rescue tests both their courage, they must decide: speak the truth or let the Galway train carry their hearts in opposite directions.

Perfect for fans of sweet friends-to-lovers romance, childhood sweethearts Irish love stories, and slow-burn autumn reads with small-town warmth. Book 3 of the Love in Ballycove series.
