A bolt of silk. A tailor's daughter. And a love story that spans a lifetime.
Ireland, 1953. David O'Brien is a young man from County Clare with calloused hands and a sense of duty that runs bone-deep. When a sailing job takes him north to Donegal-a wild, forgotten corner of Ireland-he expects cargo, coin, and a quick return home. What he doesn't expect is Aoife Kerr. Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and beautiful enough to knock the wind from his sails, she has no interest in charming strangers-especially not after the last man who tried to claim her. But David isn't like other men. And Donegal won't stay forgotten for long.
As their worlds collide, so do the forces determined to keep them apart-dangerous rivals, family loyalties, and the crushing weight of different worlds. Spanning decades and told across two timelines, this is a sweeping saga of devotion tested by time, distance, and an Ireland determined to keep them apart.
Perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Tricia O'Malley.

Stacey Reynolds started writing her first novel, _Raven of the Sea_, in 2015. She was inspired by the beautiful villages of Ireland's west coast--the traditional music, the architecture, the lighthouses, and crumbling ruins. It lit a spark in her that would smolder for years until she was ready. She was a military wife and mother of 5. With a special needs child at home, she began writing at the public library during her son's therapy sessions. Before she married an officer in the Marines, she was a police officer. Her experience in law enforcement aids her in writing from the perspective of a first responder. It also helps with the procedural aspects of some of her stories. She loves what she does. She finds inspiration through traveling, reading, art, and music. She tries to write with the honest and often raw emotions that come from loving and losing.
