The Midnight Embrace — Barbara Doyle

It seemed like a perfect vacation, a chance for Terrace Connors to discover her roots in Ireland where she would be staying with relatives she had never met. If they were all like cousin Padrig, who greeted her at the airport with a quip and a smile, she couldn't have made a better choice.

But from the moment they reached the opulent family estate, Terrace knew something was wrong. Brooding Kevin Sanford, a widowed cousin by marriage, made no attempt to hide his hostility ...nor did glamorous Sheila, who made it clear that Kevin was hers. Clearly, Terrace's arrival had stirred up long-simmering rivalries, ambitions, and hates. But why did her heart rebel at the thought of leaving Kevin, who treated her so rudely? No! She would stay, discover the truth about her family, and follow her heart--no matter what the future brought.

Hero: Kevin Sanford
Heroine: Terrace Connors
