THE NOBLEWOMAN AND THE IRISH PATRIOT

It was a bold and perilous plan – disguising herself as a boy and stealing aboard a ship bound for the far-off shores of Ireland. But from the moment orphaned Lady Alexandra Cummings arrived at besieged Inverary Castle, her life and heart were no longer her own. Captured by rugged Irish rebel Kevin Burke, the daring English noblewoman became a pawn in a dangerous game of treachery and betrayal.

For she lost her heart to the one man she dared not trust, and her passion could not be swayed by reason. But cruel fate tragically plunged Kevin into exile and Alexandra into a loveless marriage. Enemies and lovers, their forbidden desires swept them across a divided realm. A man and a woman bound together pledged their lives toward liberty and love.

EXCERPT:

FORBIDDEN PASSION

"It's not the years between us that cause the distance, Alexandra," Burke said.

"I will not think about it," Alexandra said. "We have this moment, this time, and while we're here I will not think about anything else." She put her arms around his neck and drew him down to her.

"Oh, Alex," he whispered, "you are so lovely. I think now I have lived only to see you, to be with you again."
