Where Bantry Bay in Ireland meets the wild Atlantic, three lost souls united by their brokenness begin to heal each other. A magical tapestry of romance, history, legend, family, and the complex role of strong women that was as hard to pigeonhole in Elizabethan England and the Viking enclaves in Ireland as it is today. Perfect for fans of Susanna Kearsley, Nora Roberts, Mary Stewart, Maeve Binchy, and Susan Wiggs. After a disastrous relationship with her boss, television anchor Meg Cameron leaves her job with two bad options. Leave and stay silent? Or speak up and ruin her career? But a trip to an archeological dig with her mother brings up ghosts both from her childhood and from the bloody past of beautiful Beara Peninsula and the O'Sullivan massacre in the last gasp of Elizabeth I's "pacification" of Ireland. Niall Sullivan has spent years chasing the truth of what happened to his family in 1602. But he never expected to have to bring his newly orphaned nephew, Adam, with him to excavate on Dursey Island—without internet or television or even reliable cell phone coverage. Still, time alone together in the abandoned village could be exactly what the two of them need to build the foundations of a family. Until Meg Cameron comes along. Meg and her developing relationship with Niall brings out both the best and the worst in Adam. And as danger comes from unexpected sources, they all have choices to make. Life and death choices none of them expected. ★★★★★ PRAISE FOR LAKE OF DESTINY ★★★★★ "Delightful, charming, and heartwarming!" — New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins "I loved this!!!
