Her Irish Warrior by Michelle Willingham
Genevieve de Renalt must escape her betrothed, even if that means putting her trust in the hands of the enemy!
Irish warrior Bevan MacEgan cannot leave a lady in danger, but how far will he go to keep her safe? Marriage would benefit them both, yet he has sworn never to love again . . .
Proud and strong, he keeps Genevieve at a distance but, as she begins to melt his heart, a shocking discovery forces Bevan to make a choice —a choice that could mean losing her forever!
Yet another new historical author with a book not set in the regency time period but The Island of Erin, 1171 AD.
ETA: There is an interview up with Michelle at the Harlequin Historical Blog… go check it out.
The excerpt is really rather good, you can read it here.
Along the left side of the website the author has up different facts about the times and research she has done. If you check out her about me page, she has even visited Ireland. Very nifty. There is currently a behind the scene’s page for Her Irish Warrior. Love stuff like this on an authors site.
Available September 2007 from Harlequin Historicals
After saving the life of former lover Connor MacEgan, healer Aileen Ó Duinne isn’t about to lose her heart to the handsome Irish warrior again. But within her secluded walls, a deeper healing takes place, and not just to Connor’s wounded hands.
Connor MacEgan once dreamed of becoming a chieftain and protecting his people. Now he centers his life upon vengeance against the enemies who destroyed his ability to wield a sword. But as his wounds begin to heal, he’s torn between destroying his enemy and building a life with a woman from his past . . . a woman who bore him a child he knew nothing about.
