Description
The bestselling series set in Ireland that readers can't put down!
Branna O'Mara has lost everything - first her Marine father, then her mother to cancer. At twenty-three, she's utterly alone and desperate for a fresh start. A charming cottage overlooking the heather-scented cliffs of County Clare, Ireland seems like the perfect refuge, until she discovers she's not the only one who wants it.
Michael O'Brien is a local hero who's lived in the village of Doolin all his life. After a failed marriage, all he wants is to buy the Kelly cottage and find some peace. He certainly doesn't expect some stubborn American to steal his dream home right out from under him.
When both offers for the cottage are mysteriously accepted, Branna and Michael find themselves forced to share a home-a wilful American and a proud Irishman, united only by their determination to win. But when a fierce Atlantic storm sweeps over the village, the walls between them begin to crumble...
Perfect for fans of Jean Grainger and Tricia O'Malley, Raven of the Sea is the first in an unputdownable series where the magic of Ireland works its own kind of healing. It features:
- Enemies to lovers
- Found family
- Healing hearts and themes of grief
- Slow-burn with steamy, open-door spice
More details
Person
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.
