Book Description
Long ago, before men came to the shores of Ireland, there lived a race of gods who fought a great evil to keep their island from sinking into the sea. Knowing men were destined to rule the land they loved, the gods created four great treasures to guard their beloved isle should the great evil rise to destroy it once more. Thousands of years would come to pass before the treasures were needed, before man would have to fight, to save Ireland from destruction. When Erin Whitney came to Ireland to write about a Celtic myth she wasn't expecting to be catapulted into an ancient battle of good and evil, or to fall in love with the aloof Ian MacQuill. She struggles to find a balance of her past and future but the secret she brings with her from Russia can change everything. Ian MacQuill is finally coming to terms with his past when he finds a mysterious gypsy living in his home. Who she is to the world, and to him, brings his past troubles home again. He doesn't want to fall in love, if only for the risk of losing what he finds all over again, but fate has other ideas in mind. Will Erin lose her stubborn pride before the world around them falls apart? Can Ian open his wounded heart to love before he loses the woman capable of healing it? Can they come together to save the world, and each other? With a mix of magic, suspense and plenty of romance, Irish Truth will take you on a journey that turns myth into reality and proves that love was the answer all along.
