The Faithful Heart

Sorcha MacMurrough

Tudor Ireland,
1537

Who has murdered Morgana Maguire’s brother, poisoned her father, and stolen most of her clan’s ships? There are just a few of the pressing questions the novice nun must find answers to if she and her one true love Ruairc MacMahon are ever to find happiness in each other’s arms.

Morgana broke off her engagement to the only man she ever loved when her brother was murdered, convinced that her fiance had had betrayed them all. Now, two years later, Ruairc returns to Donegal at the request of Morgana’s father, who wants to make peace with them both before he dies.

In the time that’s passed since the murder, Ruairc is the only one who does not appear to have profited from the young man’s death in any way. In fact, his life has been a living hell.

Ruairc has never loved anyone but the fiery woman with hair like living flame. Forced to earn a living after being banished from his clan for a murder he did not commit, Ruairc has had to dance attendance upon the powerful and ambitious English courtiers in Dublin.

Ruairc is overjoyed to be summoned back to the Maguire lands to be with Morgana again, despite the nest of murdeous intrigue he is walking right back into. He would brave the gates of Hell itself if it meant winning Morgana for his wife. If only he could convince her he loves her for herself alone, not her title, lands or wealth.

Set against the backdrop of Tudor power politics and Reformation during the reign of Henry VIII, and the rebellion of the great Irish leader Silken Thomas, Morgana and Ruairc must fight not only to win each other’s love, but to protect all of Ireland from civil war and foreign invasion.
