Eager to discover all the new blessings which await them in their new home on US soil, the McFerrin family turn their backs to the Emerald Isles. But far more than just wealth and prosperity await this eager Irish family as they embark on their long journey into the wilds of untamed American Continent; unexpected adventures meet them around almost every bend in the rugged landscape.
Soon Jenny Mc Ferrin finds out that God has other plans for her life than just the sedentary family life her mother hopes for her. Her path which was planned for her even before her birth leads her down a much more perilous and exciting route, right into the lives of a people as untamed and wild as the lands they were born to; the Sioux Indians.
Will the shy Irish lass be strong enough to hold on to her faith and identity when suddenly she is thrown into the midst of the fierce Indian tribe, or will their untamed nature and brutal ways be her undoing? But as the winds of change storm around her, Jenny discovers unknown strength and courage which brings her blossoming gifts of spirit into full and glorious bloom, pushing her at last over the boundaries of innocence and into womanhood.

Of Thatch and Vine
**Coming to KU in January 2026** Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**Complete
"Fields of Ash and Dawn"
When Haerin's world collapses after the death of her wealthy father, she learns the bitter truth-she is the daughter of a mistress, an outsider with no rightful claim to the estate. Her stepsister, cold and calculating, wastes no time in stripping Haerin of everything, even the house she grew up in. Spoiled, prideful, and furious, Haerin finds herself with nowhere to go but the countryside, where her maternal grandmother still lives. There, far from the glittering city lights she once adored, Haerin crosses paths with Danielle-a humble farm girl whose life revolves around tending crops, helping her grandmother, and caring for Mare, her beloved horse and the last gift from her late father. Danielle is kind, grounded, and everything Haerin despises at first-yet also everything she desperately needs. As the seasons shift, so do their hearts. The city girl who once had it all, and the farm girl who never dreamed beyond the fields, find themselves entangled in a story of healing, friendship, and the quiet, unexpected ways love takes root. But the shadows of Haerin's past-and the bitterness she carries-threaten to destroy the fragile peace she's found. Can a broken heart truly bloom again under the wide country sky?
Blood in the Hollow
Ireland, 1851. The land is starved, the Church is silent, and something ancient stalks the night. Declan O'Rourke, a former seminarian turned vampire hunter, has spent years chasing whispers of the "White Widow of Glanmire" - a seductive undead temptress haunting the countryside. His mission is clear: find her, destroy her, and silence the darkness she sows. But Siobhán Ní Fhíochna is no mindless monster. Bound to a fading aristocracy and cursed with memory and mercy, she has resisted her own kind for centuries. When a far older, brutal vampire - the feral-born Murchadh mac Fáelán - rises with an army of blood-thirsting zealots and a genocidal vision for vampire "purity," both hunter and hunted must become reluctant allies. As Declan and Siobhán journey through ash-choked villages, ruined abbeys, and blood-drenched rituals, their mutual hatred begins to twist into something dangerous: understanding, then longing, then love. But the line between salvation and damnation grows thin. And when Murchadh offers Siobhán a place among his pure-born ranks - if she'll kill Declan herself - her final choice may either doom the world... or bind them together for eternity.Complete
