Seacrets

Premonitions of a not yet known love invoke passionate desires of an explosive nature in this novel of high seas romance, adventure, and intrigue...

Maura McCoveny is a strong of will Irish born lass of eighteen summers.

Her beauty was her mother's legacy. Her strong will and obstinate nature was a curse she inherited from her beloved father, that could ultimately lead to her demise.

Maura's journey, from her homeland of Ireland to the rough mean streets of Boston, Massachusetts, is ladened with one lie after another she must keep, not only for her own survival, but also for that of her most trusted confidant, and the unlikely cover up of her vile rapist, as well as two murders, along the way.

Daniel Hargendon is the Master and Commander of the Irish-American tradeship, the Arabella. Twice a year he returns to Ireland to trade goods. At the age of Twenty and eight he shows no sign of of growing tired of the open water. However, due to poor business dealings made by his now deceased father John, Daniel is forced to marry, merging the Hargendon and Gilmore families against his will, even though the merger would make good financial sense.

Maura and Daniel's lives were destined to to collide as the illusion Maura creates not only forces her true identity to remain shrouded in lies and secrecy, but also has Daniel questioning his own manhood.

As the mighty Irish-freighter, Arabella, cuts her way through the icy North Atlantic to the freedom of America, so too does Maura cut her way through to Daniel's battle-hardened facade, straight through to the soft underbelly of his heart.
