When Y/N moves to Ballylaggin, she never expects to be drawn into the orbit of two boys who couldn’t be more different. Hughie offers quiet stability and unspoken devotion, while Gibsie brings chaos, charm, and undeniable tension. Caught between comfort and fire, Y/N must face the truth that some choices refuse to be simple—and some loves refuse to be singular.
Ballylaggin is the kind of town that notices everything—and explains nothing. When Y/N arrives, she plans to stay invisible. New town, new life, no attachments. But Ballylaggin has a way of pulling people into its orbit, and at the center of it stands Joey Lynch—untouchable, unreadable, and wrapped in rumors no one dares to question. Joey doesn’t do vulnerability. He lives by rules, control, and emotional distance, keeping the world exactly where he wants it. Y/N was never part of the plan. Yet
Y/N moves to Ballylaggin with her dad and brother after her mom’s death. At first things are great, but about a year in things start going downhill. Can she manage her social life, brother’s ailment, and love life all at once?
