In Cedar Hollow, belonging is never accidental.
When Cedar Hollow begins planning its St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Fire Chief Patrick O’Connor believes a simple parade will lift the town out of winter. It’s well-intended, familiar—and quietly wrong.
Niamh Flynn arrives in Cedar Hollow with no plans to stay. Practical, observant, and deeply rooted in her Irish heritage, she recognizes the difference between celebration and caricature the moment she sees it. What begins as a polite conversation becomes something rarer: a town willing to pause, listen, and remember what it once knew.
As voices gather and ideas shift, a forgotten tradition resurfaces—not as spectacle, but as invitation. A ceilidh replaces the parade, and Main Street transforms into a place of music, warmth, shared food, and belonging. In the gentle work of getting it right, Patrick and Niamh discover an unexpected connection—one built not on grand gestures, but on attention, respect, and the courage to change course.
Guided quietly by Noínín, the firehouse cat who seems to understand the town better than anyone, Noínín’s Wish is a cozy romance with gentle mystery about listening well, honoring culture with care, and finding love in the moments when people choose to do better.
Noínín’s Wish is a gentle, heart-forward romance about found family, tradition, and the courage to stay when life offers an invitation instead of an answer.
Each book in the Cedar Hollow Stories series can be read on its own.
