Storm Publishing is thrilled to announce the latest addition to Stacey Reynolds’ beloved The O’Brien Tales series – a Christmas novel set against the backdrop of London, publishing in autumn 2026.

The novel follows Eira Pritchard, a fiercely talented architect, and Cián Carrington, the Irish-born property developer who cannot stop thinking about her. A slow-burn love story about sacrifice, belonging and finding your way back to joy, all while happening during one of the most cherished times of the year.

Stacey Reynolds said:

“I remember the precise moment in Ireland when the idea for this series took its first breath. At the time, I was living in the Middle East, craving some pub food and green grass. When my family arrived in Doolin during our holiday, a spark ignited in my mind. This would be the perfect setting for a book. To see Storm Publishing take this series from indie to traditional has been life-changing. The team at Storm has helped me polish and shine this series beyond what I could ever have imagined. That mother of five who stood on the Irish cliffs and first dreamed of this story is reeling at her good fortune. Teaming up with Storm Publishing is the best decision I could ever have made for The O’Brien Tales. Now, sixteen books later, I’m finally getting my Christmas book. I hope everyone enjoys Eira and Cián’s story as much as I do.”

Publisher Kathryn Taussig said:

“Stacey Reynolds has an extraordinary gift for making readers feel at home – in her characters’ lives and in the warmth of the world she has built. This Christmas story takes that gift somewhere new. Eira and Cián’s story is achingly tender, sharply funny and rooted in a London that is as beautiful as it is brutal. It is the perfect read for all who believe love heals.”
