O'Brien Tales

The story of two young people whose love will inspire generations to come. Sorcha Mullen has always been drawn to the front lines-the narrow streets of Belfast, the cry of newborns, the fierce heartbeat of a city that refuses to break... But when she crosses paths with Sean O'Brien-a Dublin Garda with a poet's soul, strong ties to his native homeland, and his family's legacy of finding one true love-she begins to wonder if there's more to life than survival. They come from two vastly different Irelands, sharing a border, but worlds apart. Yet their attraction is undeniable-instant, electric, impossible to ignore. Sorcha has built walls around her heart. She's seen too much. Risked too much. And loving a man who wants all of her terrifies her more than any bomb ever could. When violence erupts across Belfast and Sorcha finds herself trapped on the wrong side of the peace walls, Sean must travel into a war zone to rescue the only woman he'll ever love. A sweeping, emotional romance about courage, sacrifice, and finding your way home through the fire. Perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Rhys Bowen.
