The Falcon's Bride is a love story--of a mother's sacrifice for her son, as well as the passion between Ros and Thea.

Thea Barrington travels to Ireland with the intention of marrying Nigel Cosgrove.  While Thea has her doubts, she knows this match will be a good one for her father's finances.  Enter one old Gypsy lady who tells Thea she's the Black Falcon's bride.  But the Black Falcon is a legend--half Irish lord and half Gypsy, not a real man, and dead long ago.  Still, at the Winter Solstice, Thea is drawn to  a 5,000-year-old passage tomb called Newgrange, where she is transported to the arms of Ros Drumcondra, the Black Falcon.  And the passion begins.

Talk about a delicioso hero--Ros Drumcondra fills the bill and more.  Yum.  Thea Barrington is strong enough as well as smart enough to be his match in both wits and passion.  The Falcon's Bride is a compelling story you won't want to put down.  Every offering from this talented author gets better and better.  This book is definitely a keeper!
