    About this series

    Shannon Bodine’s life revolves around her job as a graphic artist at a New York ad agency. But her world turns upside down when she learns the identity of her real father: Thomas Concannon.

    Obeying her late mother’s wishes, Shannon reluctantly travels to County Clare. There, amid the lush landscape steeped in legend, she meets her half sisters and their families, but she’s wary of opening her heart to them—or to their charming neighbor…

    Murphy Muldoon is a successful farmer and horse breeder with a romantic streak that can turn the most trite sentiment into poetry. Soon, his striking good looks and unpretentious ways have Shannon discovering the possibility of a love that was meant to be.

    “With prose that’s lively and compelling, Roberts creates exceptional characters whose relationships with each other develop and grow, and live on in the reader’s imagination and heart.” —Publishers Weekly

    “Her knack for crafting a good Irish romance could have kept this series going indefinitely.” —The Romance Reader

      Margaret Mary, the eldest Concannon sister, is a glass artist with an independent streak as fierce as her volatile temper. Hand-blowing glass is a difficult and exacting art, and while she may produce the delicate and the fragile, Maggie is a strong and opinionated woman, a Clare woman, with all the turbulence of that fascinating west country. One man, Dublin gallery owner Rogan Sweeney, has seen the soul in Maggie’s art, and vows to help her build a career. When he comes to Maggie’s studio, her heart is inflamed by their fierce attraction—and her scarred past is slowly healed by love… “The attraction that springs up between this unlikely pair is both believable and compelling, thanks to Roberts’ skillful character development…The conflicts Maggie and Rogan face are refreshingly realistic and the characters themselves, well-rounded and likable, will keep readers engaged.” —Publishers Weekly “Roberts’ style is earthy, realistic and makes for an entirely believable read.” —The Romance Reader

But his lovely landlady adds a complication he never expected. She’s exactly what he’s looking for in his heroine. And soon Grayson and Brianna will learn that sometimes fate has a plan of its own. Sometimes, fire can be born in ice… “The pace of the book is smooth and even, and the writing captures the charisma and earthy charm of Ireland and the gentleness of its people.” —Publishers Weekly “This book kept me interested right through to the end. Read this on a rainy night—you’ll be right in the thick of it.” —The Romance Reader
