Violet Kilbride has returned to the village of Duncarraig
to clean out her late grandmother's home, never expecting
to cross paths with her first love, Liam Rafferty. Liam,
who's been living in America for the past 15 years, has
reluctantly returned home, teenage daughter in tow, to pick
up the pieces of his life. He's searching for a fortune in
gold, said to be lost generations ago when an affair
between a Rafferty and a Kilbride went awry.
Passions flare anew between Vi and Liam as the two pair up
to hunt for the treasure, but baggage from their past
threatens to tear the lovers apart again. Can they put past
misunderstandings behind them and find the treasure of true
love?
Ms. Kelly paints a vivid picture of a small village in
Ireland, populated with characters you can't help but love,
even as they frustrate you to no end. This is the third
book of the Ballymuir trilogy, but you're never left
wondering who's who and how they're connected. A delightful
read!!
Ballymuir novel sweeps readers back to Ireland's
mystical shores with a story of a legendary treasure and an
unforgettable love.
When Ballymuir's sharp-witted artist Violet Kilbride, who
inherited the gift of second sight from her beloved
grandmother, decides to sell her nan's cottage in
Duncarraig, she returns to a town that holds complicated
memories. Vi fell in love with Liam Rafferty there one
teenage summer and has never gotten over their failed
romance. When she runs into Liam -- now a divorced dad --
the attraction flares anew. But just as quickly, their
reignited passion is threatened by Liam's quest for the
legendary treasure known as Rafferty's gold, which was
entrusted to an ancestor of Vi's who was also scorned by a
Rafferty man. Determined to find the gold herself -- and to
see that it ends up in a museum -- Vi pits her second sight
against Liam's fancy gold-hunting gadgets. But the lure of
lost treasure doesn't stand a chance against a love like
this...or does it?
