Romance | Women's Fiction Contemporary

Meghann McCarthy loses her parents as a young girl during a horrific bombing of Cupar Street caused by the fighting between the British and the Irish. Both of her staunch Catholic Irish parents were burned to a crisp and Meghann is saved by a young man, Michael Devlin. Taking her home to his mother, Annie, she is protected and grows up trying to distance herself from the upheaval of constant fighting surrounding the six counties of Northern Ireland. Being desperately in love with Michael, she does not condone his activities in the Irish Republican Army, where he becomes a much respected leader of men and known for his good heart. Gifted, he publishes volumes of poetry, novels and many essays. Meggie runs from the violence, attending college and becoming a brilliant barrister in London. Marrying Lord Sutton gives her the respect she deserves and part ownership in his law firm upon his death.

Fifteen years later Annie summons Meggie home to defend Michael accused of murdering a famous political figure. Michael is beaten and framed for the murder and thrown in Long Kesh Prison as a political prisoner. Meggie has not lost her love for Michael and leaves no stones unturned to prove his innocence. This is not done by herself, as she has her own guardian angel, Nuala, who helps her along the way. Following Nuala's life of a woman living 400 years ago through her dreams, brings some revelations to Meghann as she nears the end of her fight for Michael's life. Everything that was once important to Meghann comes into view.

IRISH LADY is an extreme soul searching tale of the fight a woman endures through heartbreak and war to achieve the lost love of her childhood. The insights of the upheaval of the beautiful country of Ireland and its devoted families, brings to light the horrendous atrocities they were forced to endure in protecting their beloved country. IRISH LADY is filled with a fierce and devoted love of two people and their struggle for what they believe in.

SUMMARY

Meghann McCarthy escaped the slums of Belfast to become a rich, successful attorney in London. Yet she can never quite banish Ireland from her heart, or forget Michael Devlin, the boy she once loved with a passion that nearly tore her apart. When Michael, a notorious Irish nationalist, becomes involved in a vicious court case, Meghann agrees to defend him. But even as she jeopardizes her hard-won success, she finds the true power and spirit of the Irish heritage she has too long denied...and the courage to face her love for Michael.
