Book description
Award-winning author Dorien Kelly's passionate new 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?
"The quirky folks who populate Ballymuir create a funny,
affectionately drawn world to which readers will eagerly return."
