"The truth about me isn't selective, you can't choose what you want to believe." 📺👡🚬 Venturer finds out that building a production company from the soil up, is hard, and it's costly. That's why when Rupert believes he's hit the jackpot by gaining sponsors, he's taken aback by Declan's reluctance. Declan O'Hara, a man of pride and integrity, would not rely on a snobby socialite for his cause, not a chance in hell. But when that chance in hell doesn't go his way, will he be able to get over himself? Or will problems be created for all involved, and will those problems be daydreams or nightmares? (Declan O'Hara x OC) (This takes place after season 1, but does not follow the plot of season 2 / the rest of the book)

"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Twenty years ago, Niamh Byrne made the hardest decision of her life. When Declan O'Hara won a scholarship to Trinity College, she let him go. While he chased the future he deserved, Niamh remained in the Wicklow Mountains, sacrificing her own dreams to care for the family who depended on her. By the time Declan had built a new life, married, and become a respected journalist, Niamh had become trapped in a marriage of her own, one built not on love, but survival. Now, after decades apart, fate brings them back into each other's lives. Declan is carrying the wreckage of a marriage he thought would last forever. Niamh is hiding the truth behind a carefully practised smile. Neither is the person they once were. Yet beneath the years, the heartbreak, and the choices they cannot undo, remains the memory of a boy and a girl who once believed they would conquer the world together. As old wounds reopen and long-buried truths come to light, Declan and Niamh must decide whether first love belongs in the past or whether some hearts are destined to find their way home. Because sometimes the greatest love story isn't the one that got away. It's the one that waited.
