There’s a good bit of needless melodrama in her older works that has been cut out of her newer books, and the Irish Born trilogy is no exception. However, it’s apparent that Nora has grown tremendously as an author during the twenty-five years since this trilogy was first published. It’s sweet and cozy and I’m sure I’ll end up rereading it yet again. I think this is the fourth time I’ve read this trilogy. And amid the lush Irish landscape, steeped in mysticism and legend, she discovers the possibility of a love that is meant to be. There, her loneliness and shame melt away in the embrace of the family she never knew existed. Respecting her late mother's wish, Shannon travels, however reluctantly, to County Clare. Her world is turned upside down when she learns the identity of her real father: Thomas Concannon. Shannon Bodine is a talented graphic artist whose life revolves around her job at a prestigious New York advertising agency. Yet sometimes fate has a plan of its own. A restless wanderer with a dark past, he plans to spend the cold winter alone. This year, though, she's expecting an unusual guest - mystery writer Grayson Thane - from America. She enjoys the peace and quiet, even when icy winds howl at her window.

Brianna Concannon's bed-and-breakfast becomes a cold and empty place.

When the harsh storms of winter descend upon western Ireland, the locals stay indoors - and visitors stay away. When gallery owner Rogan Sweeney comes to Maggie's isolated studio, her heart is enflamed by their fierce attraction - and her scarred past is slowly healed by a gentle and forgiving love. One man has seen the soul in her art, and vows to help this complex woman build a lucrative career.
