According to O'Hara family tradition, the last brother to marry inherits the Claddagh Ring—a centuries-old heirloom said to reveal true love to its bearer. As Laurel Valley's most dedicated bachelor and now the final unwed O'Hara, Aidan never expected to face the legend head-on. When Aidan receives a letter his grandfather left to be opened by "the final bachelor," he discovers the treasured ring has been lost somewhere on the vast family property. Finding it isn't just about honoring tradition—according to Irish lore, it will lead him to his destined love. Skeptical but intrigued, Aidan enlists Dylan Flanagan, his talented head mechanic at The Pinnacle Garage, to help decipher his grandfather's cryptic clues. As they search the sprawling O'Hara ranch, their professional relationship shifts into something neither expected. Behind Dylan's tough exterior lies a woman with secrets, and behind Aidan's carefree smile hides a depth he's never revealed—until now. With each clue they uncover, the ring's legacy draws them closer—not just to a priceless heirloom, but to the undeniable truth in their hearts. In Laurel Valley, even the most guarded souls can find their perfect match.

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers. Enjoy the Adventures!
