About this listen

A fake engagement, a small-town secret, and an unexpected spark in Dooncarra!

Niamh Kelly’s gift shop needs a miracle. Fast. When grumpy pub owner Darragh O’Sullivan comes knocking with a problem of his own, he offers the perfect solution: a fake engagement. He needs to impress the bank to save his family’s pub, and she could use the publicity boost. What could possibly go wrong?

As it turns out, everything. Thanks to the town’s biggest gossip, their “engagement” becomes the talk of Dooncarra. Suddenly, they’re stuck with cake tastings, dance lessons, and a nosy town committee planning a wedding they didn’t want. But somewhere between the fake kisses and forced smiles, sparks start to fly—and neither of them knows what to do about it.

When the lines between real and pretend blur, Niamh and Darragh have to decide: is love worth the risk, or should they call it quits before someone gets hurt? The Pub Owner’s Proposal is a warm, funny, small-town romance about unexpected love and second chances.
