The Promise — Kate Hoffmann

The Quinns and the McClains. Two families from County Cork, Ireland.
Three generations of lives inextricably intertwined by a legacy of promises.

Made and broken. . .

by Fathers. . . During Ireland's civil war, Aiden McClain found recognition and glory -- by betraying his best friend Jack Quinn. Too bad he'd forgotten that paybacks could be hell. . .

Sons. . . Donal McClain had come second to his friend Rory Quinn all his life. That is, until Rory went off to fight in World War II -- a nd Donal married Rory's fiancee. . .

and Lovers. Seamus Quinn had always loved Fiona McClain. So, when Fiona found herself pregnant and alone, Seamus offered to marry her. It was a marriage of convenience. But Seamus wanted Fiona as his wife -- in every sense of the word!
