Romance
In the small town of Carrigmore, where everyone knows each other and the days are spent between school, hurling matches, and quiet evenings at home, Conor Flynn and Fiadh O'Donovan have always been just two familiar faces in the crowd. Growing up together, they've shared classrooms, the local GAA pitch, and unspoken moments of connection, but never the courage to acknowledge what lies beneath their friendship. Fiadh has always been quiet, the girl who loves music and dreams of becoming a doctor, but never feels quite good enough to make it happen. Her world is turned upside down when her mam passes away from cancer, leaving Fiadh to navigate grief, self-doubt, and the weight of expectations. As her father's law business continues to thrive, the pressure to follow in her mam's footsteps and make something of herself grows stronger. But with every step she takes forward, she feels more lost. Conor, a minor Cork hurler with dreams of playing for the senior team, carries the burden of being everything everyone expects him to be. He's the star athlete, the dependable friend, but beneath it all, Conor wonders who he really is when he's not the version others want him to be. He's always admired Fiadh from afar, but with her life in upheaval, he's unsure if it's the right time to tell her how he feels. In a town where nothing stays secret for long, and where small-town dreams sometimes feel too big to achieve, Fiadh and Conor must face their own fears, their shared history, and the growing feelings between them that they've long ignored. But as they try to navigate their way through love, loss, and self-discovery, they will both learn that the most important thing is to never change who you are for anyone-no matter how much you think you might need to. More Than Enough is a slow-burn story about friendship, love, and finding the strength to stay true to yourself when the world around you seems determined to pull you in different directions.

Romeo O'Brien has always known who he is. On the pitch, he's one of Tommen College's star rugby players-fierce, fast, and impossible to miss. Off the field, he's surrounded by a family that shows love like it's second nature. But even in that world of safety and strength, there's one truth he hasn't dared to speak aloud. Not yet. McKenzie Donahue is used to silence. Quiet by nature and more comfortable on the sidelines than in the spotlight, he plays hurling at BCS not because he loves it, but because it's expected of him. In his house, appearances matter, and anything outside the norm-especially who you love-isn't just unwelcome. It's dangerous. They meet by accident, thanks to a cousin who drags McKenzie to a Tommen rugby game. Romeo's energy is electric, his confidence magnetic-and for reasons McKenzie can't explain, he can't stop looking. And Romeo? He notices the quiet boy who doesn't quite fit in but sees everything. What begins as a few stolen conversations quickly deepens into something neither of them planned for. Friendship becomes a lifeline. And then... something more. But in a world where secrets are necessary for survival, falling in love isn't just risky-it could cost them everything. Torn between the safety of silence and the freedom of truth, Romeo and McKenzie must navigate growing feelings, complicated families, rival schools, and the harsh glare of expectation. One is ready to fight for love. The other isn't sure he's allowed to want it.
