Borrowed Summers - Salt Winds & Second Chances

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Sometimes the best summers are only meant to be borrowed… until they become forever.

When ambitious marketing executive Franky walks out of one too many empty job interviews, she packs two suitcases and boards a one-way flight to Belfast. What she finds is a chaotic tech call centre, a city still finding its feet, and a circle of fellow expats who become the family she never expected.

Among the late-night drinks and office disasters, Franky meets Ronan — a half-Italian, half-Irish doctor with salt-and-pepper hair, quiet strength, and a life already spoken for. Their connection is instant. The timing is not.

As careers collapse, friendships shift, and second chances arrive in the most unexpected places, Franky begins again: a new city, a bold idea born on the cliffs, and a love that grows as steadily as the Irish sea. From construction-site balconies in Belfast to the wild Atlantic coast, from a borrowed summer in a glass house by the lake to a life built on salt wind and second chances, she discovers that some beginnings are worth waiting for.

Borrowed Summers – Salt Winds and Second Chances is a heartfelt contemporary romance about resilience, found family, late-blooming love, and the quiet magic of starting over when the tide finally turns.
