Zinnia Walsh has only ever wanted to be recognized for her intelligence. When she earns a scholarship to leave her sleepy Irish hometown for the prestigious Mayfield School, she finds herself finally seen as the brilliant girl she is. And yet, there is more to success at Mayfield than she expected. Unusual in her nationality, race, and class, she finds that these traits matter more here than in Roscommon. And then there is the feeling, inarticulable, that there is more to her elegant classmate Aoife than meets the eye . . .

CountryCore Series: Her Lady of the Lake (WLW)
From birth, Trinity saw the world differently than her peers. Not that she knew much of her peers in her childhood as she was home-schooled. However, that's all in the past. She has her own business, works hard and all-in-all, she's happy. For the most part, that is. As long as she still has her seclusion for which she has worked hard and values above all else, then she will be fine. If people would just stay away... Leah has been blind her entire life but never let it hold her back as she embraced it with open arms. She hasn't ever known any differently and life is great. Or at least, it could be with these new changes. Moving to a new town, Leah is excited to begin a new life, but her family isn't exactly shy about their protectiveness of her. If only she could be somewhere, anywhere where people would treat her just as they would anyone else. As their paths cross, Leah and Trinity's lives are forever changed, some changes for the better and others still up for debate. People can sometimes surprise us in the most exhilarating of ways, however, and they are just about to find out exactly why.
