Can you ever really walk away from your past? Mick O’Rourke locked his secrets away and came to Frost Ford to begin life over again. In the small English town he found stability after years of aimless wandering and friends who became the family he’d been forced to leave behind. Friends he would go to any lengths necessary to protect. Including confronting his past when it came back to haunt him. He ran then, but he’s no longer that easily threatened teenager. He’s a man who protects what’s his, the question is, does that particular part of his past want to be his? Enora Murray made decisions she believed to be best for everyone. She donned a mask with which to protect herself and those she loved, including Mick. Only he can’t see the girl he once knew underneath that mask. He sees only the lie she has lived for the last ten years. He sees the cold, calculating woman she became in order to survive the dangerous world she found herself in. She lived with the decisions she made, but now she’s making a few more. It’s time to take a walk into her past. It’s time for long buried secrets to surface at last. Killian Murray is not a good man. He never had any chance of being a good man, not when he was the eldest son and heir to Dublin’s most notorious crime family. He is dangerous. He is powerful. He is feared. So what does a man like him do when his wife runs to the arms of the man he stole her from in the first place? He goes after her of course. He has a reputation to uphold, a failed marriage and an estranged wife is not a weakness he can afford. He made vows and he intends to keep them, “...until death my dear wife, until death.” **Please Note** While A Claddagh in the Clover could be read as such, it is NOT a stand alone novel. It is the second in a series that will come full circle, once complete. There may be references to events that took place in book one, as well as underlying story lines relating to other characters, and while there is no cliff hanger ending, these character's stories are not over and some questions may be left unanswered to be addressed in future books in the series.
