BENEATH Γ‰IRINN SKIES

He spent years trying to forget her…

She spent years trying to move on…

But you never really forget your first love–and when they’re sleeping next door, all bets are off.

BASALT ESTATE BOOK 1

EMOTIONAL / HEARTFELT / SWOONY ROMANCE

I hold my breath and turn. Everything moves in slow motion as I lock eyes with the man in the doorway.

He’s tall. His dark, wavy hair brushes his neck, longer pieces swept to the side, framing his face. His beard is neatly trimmed, eyebrows full and pinched together in a frown.

I can almost convince myself it’s not my Rowan; time has aged him, hardened him. The eyes are the same, though, and I know as soon as ours meet that I’m looking at the boy I fell in love with seven years ago; the boy who broke my heart. 

FOR SMALL TOWN ROMANCE AS BREATHTAKING AS THE LANDSCAPE

Meet Muryum

Muryum McKendry grew up binging romance novels and rewatching all the best rom-coms from the 90s and 00s. 

Her novels feature real characters with real problems. They’re full of witty banter and small towns you want to cosy up in. Her heroines are strong, her heroes sexy, and vulnerable.

Originally from Canada, Muryum moved to Ireland at twenty-one. She earned a master's degree in Creative Writing from Trinity College Dublin before moving to Northern Ireland, where she met (and later married) her real life Irish hero.

When she’s not writing or reading, Muryum can be found spending time with her family, baking, or sipping a strong cuppa and thinking up her next happily ever after.
