Judith O'Brien says the idea for this story came while "researching" in Irish pubs. If so, she must have had her pubmates in stitches. Judith's fresh writing style and charming, wonderful characters will keep you chuckling right to the last page. The oh-so-American, Maura Finnegan can't believe her good luck when she inherits a classic Irish townhouse and furniture shop, but when she visits her property, she discovers it is derelict and comes with a ghost, a bumbling solicitor, and an arrogant Irishman with ulterior motives.
Book Description
Imaginative and wonderfully gifted, Judith O'Brien has delighted readers and reviewers alike with her time-travel novels. "Romance of any genre doesn't come any better," says Publisher's Weekly. Now she journeys across the sea to Ireland, where a young, thoroughly American woman has inherited an eighteenth-century townhouse, and an unforeseen destiny.
Maura Finnegan is utterly taken with the quaint, romantic nature of her new home on Merrion Square ... as well as the dashing, elegant ghost who lives there. Lingering to solve the mystery surrounding his death, the apparition appeals to Maura for help in his desperate quest, and unknowingly leads her to Donal Byrne -- the extraordinarily handsome man who holds the long-buried secret. Maura's about to discover the compelling history behind her own Irish roots...and a love that transcends the barriers of time.
