Call Home the Heart, Shannon Farrell

Ireland, 1845

Widowed by a shooting accident on her honeymoon, Muireann Caldwell discovers that her wastrel husband Augustine has left her penniless, and almost homeless. She now faces returning to her smothering family back in Scotland, or charting her own course with the crumbling Caldwell estate in Ireland.

Deciding to remain in Ireland to tackle Barnakilla and its mountain of debt, Muireann turns to the handsome, capable Lochlainn Roche, her late husband’s estate manager, for support.

Lochlainn worries that with Augustine dead, his lifelong home will be forfeited, especially if the young widow decides to run home to Scotland.

But he’s surprised by the strength Muireann displays, and grows to admire her courage and determination, especially as the Irish Potato Famine begins to spread its blight on the land he loves so well.

Muireann struggles to re-build the estate and create a sanctuary all can call home. She grows to love Barnakilla as much as Lochlainn does. Dare he hope she returns the love he has found for her? Or will the sacrifices she is forced to make prove too much for her?

And dare Lochlainn even trust her? When her husband’s cousin begins to ask questions about the fatal shooting accident, Muireann and Lochlainn must trust to love if they are ever to save Muireann and Barnakilla from certain doom….

Muireann’s lips parted with a sigh, deepening the sweet kiss into something much more compelling as he raised one hand to hold her chin tenderly and explored her mouth with a leisurely thoroughness that thrilled them both to the core.

At last Lochlainn lifted his lips, knowing he couldn’t hide his throbbing desire for her forever. But she seemed untroubled by the kiss, stroking her hand down the long column of his neck with her eyes closed.

“How long will it take us to get to Enniskillen?” she asked sleepily.

“We should be there by tea time if we have clear roads, but then we’ll have to hope for a lift out to Barnakilla,” he whispered against her silken hair, now a mass of curls which he tousled with this hands, savoring the soft feel of her all over.

Like a rose without thorns. The thought came to him suddenly, and he found the simile apt.

Muireann nodded, and stroked the hand around her as she returned her head to the pillow. She reflected somewhere in the back of her drowsy mind how wonderful Lochlainn felt in the bed beside her. How they just seemed to fit together.

She had had the strangest sensation when she had first met him on the docks in Dun Laoghaire, and their hands had touched in greeting. She had trembled then as though the ground under her were shaking. She had felt almost as if she had come home, though of course she had never before set foot in Ireland. As though they belonged together for all time…
