When Love Is Enough

When Love Is Enough By Ajona Penhart On the mist-veiled Isle of Innishallow, where time moves at the pace of the tides and magic lingers like salt in the air, two broken souls find something they weren't looking for—each other. Fenella "Nell" Larkspur arrives on the island with nothing but a sketchbook, a pocketful of wildflower seeds, and the weight of a love story that never quite bloomed. A botanical illustrator with a quiet ache, she's come to disappear into her work, not to be found. But then there's Thorne MacCraith—a reclusive clockmaker who lives in a lighthouse and speaks like time is something sacred. Wounded by his past and hiding behind the tick and tock of gears, he's built a life that doesn't ask anything of him. Until Nell. As the seasons change and the island awakens around them, a greenhouse begins to bloom, long-forgotten clocks tick again, and two hearts cautiously open. But when old ghosts and unexpected choices threaten the delicate bond they've formed, Nell and Thorne must ask the simplest—and hardest—question of all: What if love, just as it is, is already enough? A tender, magical, and deeply human love story about starting over, letting go, and daring to believe in the quiet power of connection.
