The sweeping hills and emerald hedgerows seem to dance in the pale Irish sun. Home after far too long, Ginny takes a deep breath and tries to shake off the past. She's hidden the truth for years. And when Ruari looks at her, his long lashes shading his green eyes, she knows she can't reveal it now. Her secret would destroy him, as much as it would her...
When Ginny Kingston returns to Ireland's windswept Roone Bay after ten years of self-imposed exile, the last person she wants to run into is black-haired Ruari Savage. But there he is, glowering at her from the back of the tiny church hall, as she holds the townsfolk spell-bound throughout her lecture on Irish history.
The Kingstons and the Savages have been neighbours, farmers and bitter rivals for as long as anyone can remember. But, finally drawn home by work, Ginny is determined to discover the truth behind their family feud. And what happened to the first young lovers who tried to mend the rift over fifty years ago. For some strange reason, mechanic Ruari with his practical mind and strong hands, has offered to help...
Ruari's aid, however, comes at a price: the truth about why Ginny herself left so suddenly. What he doesn't know is that Ginny's devastating secret might destroy their families' new-found peace - and any chance of happiness they have with each other - forever...
Can Ginny and Ruari work together to heal old wounds? And will the secrets that have divided their families for generations ever come to light - or tear them all apart?
This utterly gripping, heart-breaking, and transporting story of two Irish families finding forgiveness is perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary, Kathleen McGurl and Tricia O'Malley.
