Then there were years spent away in western Ireland, peaceful and protected but with restlessness growing in her soul. 

Finally, she would return to Los Angeles, gathering the courage to act again and get past the trauma that had derailed her life. What she didn't yet know was that two seeds had been planted that long-ago night--one of a great love, and one of a terrible vengeance. ISBN: 1250831709 Mass Market Paperback
