Aunties of the Apocalypse (Morning & Market Stories Book 3)

In a small town, love is never private. It’s weather.

Fiona Hayes only wants a quiet life.

After leaving a marriage that slowly made her disappear, she has come home to West Cork with one simple plan: survive, work, sleep, and keep everything small enough that no one can break it.

Unfortunately, the aunties have other ideas.

Armed with casseroles, parish hall keys, emergency notebooks, WhatsApp warfare, and a deeply questionable belief that the world may be ending, Máiréad and her terrifying council of women decide Fiona needs two things: community and a man who shows up.

Enter Tomás Scully.

Local GP. Calm in a crisis. Dry as dust. Far too observant for Fiona’s liking.

Tom never asked to be drafted into the Auntie Council’s preparedness plans, but when Fiona’s carefully guarded world begins cracking open, he becomes the one person who sees the difference between peace and hiding.

As storms gather over the village, the parish hall roof threatens collapse, and the aunties prepare for every possible disaster except feelings, Fiona is forced to face the truth she has been avoiding:

Maybe being alone kept her safe.

But maybe being loved properly might save her.

Warm, witty, emotionally rich, and full of sharp Irish community chaos, Aunties of the Apocalypse is a heartfelt contemporary romance about found family, second chances, hard-won boundaries, and the women who will absolutely break into your life with tea if they think you need rescuing.

Perfect for readers who love small-town romance, fierce aunties, slow-burn tenderness, Irish humour, community drama, and love stories where healing comes with biscuits, bad weather, and people who refuse to let you disappear.
