Canada and Ireland 1848-1849

Emer Nugent has survived the hell of the Grosse Ile quarantine station in Canada with some help from the Bishop of Quebec and her friends from Ireland, and has embarked on a new life running an orphanage for the Irish emigrant children left parentless by the Irish Famine and terrible diseases which have accompanied it.

Emer has never stopped loving Dalton Randall, the powerful shipping magnate, but feels it is impossible to forgive what she believes have been his many betrayals of her and her family.

Dalton’s father Frederick is actually to blame for the evil deeds against Emer and her friends. Frederick has done everything he can to separate the couple, and is now one step away from achieving all his worldly ambitions. Frederick has convinced Dalton that Emer is dead. Dalton, not caring whether he lives or dies, is about to cave in to his father’s demands that he marry the daughter of a business rival for the sake of their shipping company.

But a chance meeting draws the passionate lovers together once more. Overjoyed that Emer is still alive, Dalton is determined to make up for his past mistakes and work with her to help the poor Irish escaping from the Famine, even if it means Dalton being disowned by his father forever.

Frederick is outraged at his plans failing yet again, and manages to use his power as a magistrate to get Emer transported back to Dublin as a criminal. Injured and penniless, Emer has no idea how she will ever return to all those she has come to love in Canada.

A chance meeting on the road to her former home alters her life forever. For the Ireland Emer returns to is not only still in the grip of the Famine, but also on the brink of civil war. Emer finds herself unwittingly embroiled in the 1848 rebellion, and is put on trial for her life.

In this must-not-miss third volume of this gripping love story, Dalton must outwit Frederick if he and Emer are ever to be safe, and travels half way across the world to try to rescue his one true love from a death sentence of treason before it’s too late.

An excerpt:

“No you don’t, Emer. You’re not getting rid of me that easily. I want some answers, and I want them now!” Dalton rasped as he backed her up against the wall until his stomach and thighs pressed intimately against her own.

Emer was sure she was going to faint from desire and fear.

“When I last saw you in August, you were in my bed, a poor governess, making love to me as though it meant everything in the world to you. Now I find you married to your fiance Garvan, whom you swore you never loved, living in a mansion with a troop of male visitors coming in and out of here at all times of the day and night. I want to know exactly what the hell you’ve been up to, and I’m not leaving here until you tell me the truth,” Dalton threatened.

Emer shoved against his chest futilely as she struggled to escape from his tantalising nearness. “What I’ve done ceased to be your concern when you left me on Grosse Ile last August, and never once tried to contact me except to….”

# She halted just in time before she could say the words “bribe me.”
