She arrived as a teenager from Dublin to live with her grandparents and since then, has carved out a perfect life for herself. The sentimental attachment to her home is strong and she vows that she will not sell. Easier said than done, when the pressure is put on by the handsome and charismatic businessman from the States. Jake Ballard is in Ireland for the summer to get his golf course and resort off the ground in the scenic County Clare cliffside town.
