The Viking and the Irishman

By Mona McGuire

Angelsey, Wales 680 A.D... Maerya is gathering firewood by the shore when she chances to meet a mysterious Irish fisherman named Ian. They become fast friends and soon a whirlwind romance ensues. Her parents protest and do everything they can to keep them apart, though the lovers still continue to meet in secret. Their passion deepens as they try to find a way to stay together, but the British have invaded Angelsey and danger lurks at every turn. Unable to convince Maerya's parents, the two of them make plans to run away together to Eire, Ian's homeland. But will they be able to escape before they are captured by the British? Colorado, 1935... Mona Marie is the first American born in her family. As she grows older, she is a sweet, quiet child who always seems to be waiting for someone who never arrives, always daydreaming and reading about far away lands. When she is in high school, she chances to meet an older boy named William who sweeps her off her feet and asks for her hand in marriage. But is their picture perfect relationship everything it seems to be, or is something darker hiding just underneath the surface? What do Maerya and Mona have in common? Are their lives inexplicably linked across the hundreds of years that span the distance between them? And will either of them ever find a way to be with their true love?
