A blacksmith's apprentice who would be a knight. The heir to the throne, at death's door. One woman who would save them both, if she could... Charlotte was number sixty-four in the second group of young, hopeful maidens intended to meet the Prince at a grand ball in his honor. That introduction was not to be. She returned home to her tiny village- and her visions of a future limited by it- without any warning of the drastic turn her life was about to take. Soon she would be fighting against the odds to help keep a gravely wounded stranger alive; and waging war with her own heart, as he stirred feelings in her she'd never known. When the stranger's royal identity is revealed, Charlotte is faced with an entirely different battle: one to keep her family, village, and the injured Prince in her care all safe from a madman set on taking the throne by any means necessary.

Sophia has sacrificed everything for her younger sister, Lucy. She has removed them from the only home they ever knew, taken on the care of Lucy's illegitimate son, George, and even assumed the role of a widow and mother in order to erase all hint of scandal from the boy's birth. But rumor continues to follow them like the darkest of clouds, and Sophia must adapt to her new existence as a false widow with no prospects beyond the doors of her small cottage. Lord Haughton - "Finn" to those close to him - will stop at nothing to prevent the slightest whiff of disgrace from tainting his family's name. When he learns of his younger brother's latest indiscretion-one that leaves a bastard child in his wake-Haughton rushes across the country to offer the boy's mother a comfortable living in exchange for her silence about the child's true parentage. But he arrives only to have his generous offer thrown back in his face by Sophia Brixton, a sharp-tongued and sharper-witted woman who proceeds to toss him out of her house. But just because he is banished from her home does not mean he is so easily banished from her life.

The Nationalists. An epic story of love, loyalty, and rebellion in a nation on the brink of freedom. Against the backdrop of the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, and the Civil War that followed, The Nationalists tells a sweeping tale of courage, heartbreak, and the struggle for Ireland's soul. When Tony McAnthony meets the passionate Angela O'Sullivan in Dublin's GPO during the Rising, their fates are forever entwined. Imprisoned after the rebellion, Tony must fight not only for Ireland but for the woman he loves. His resolve is tested when Lucy, Angela's best friend, suffers brutal violence at the hands of the Black and Tans-forcing Tony to choose between the pen and the gun, ideals and vengeance. As Ireland fractures, Angela-strong-willed and independent-chooses her own path, and the two are drawn together and torn apart by loyalty, loss, and love. Meanwhile, Father John Troy, a priest caught between conscience and obedience, faces Rome's wrath for aiding the rebels, embodying the moral turmoil of a country at war with itself. From Dublin to Kerry, Wales, and London, The Nationalists weaves together real and fictional characters-such as Eamon de Valera, Michael Collins, and others-into a vivid portrayal of revolution, culture, and identity. Everyone is changed. Nobody escapes unscathed. Has been translated into various languages, including the Irish language. Described as "capturing the heart of the nation," The Nationalists also includes the award-winning short story "The Pitboys," recently adapted for the stage and winner of Best Stage Play at the Tokyo Film and Screenwriting Awards-a powerful companion piece exploring rebellion and the price of freedom.
