"With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O'Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It's where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can't be broken... A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape--by a long-awaited kiss. Meara Quinn is Branna's best friend, a sister in all but blood. Her and Connor's paths cross almost daily, as Connor takes tourists on hawk walks and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess...things Connor has always taken for granted--until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle. Plenty of women have found their way to Connor's bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself--and their friendship--to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him, when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves.
New York. London. Milan. Paris. Fashion Week in all four cities. A month of endless interviews, parties, and unflagging work and attention to detail at the ready to wear fashion shows twice a year. At the center of the storm is American Timmie O'Neill, whose renowned line, Timmie O, is the embodiment of casual chic in fashion and for the home. She has created a business that inspires, fills, and consumes her life. With an unerring instinct for what the next trend will be, Timmie has built an international empire over two decades that has brought her enormous satisfaction and success. Yet as blessed as she feels, Timmie harbors the wounds of a devastating childhood and past tragedy. She is too hurt to want much in her personal life beyond a succession of very limited relationships. Always willing to take risks in business, she never risks her heart. But despite her highly controlled world, Timmie O'Neill is not immune to magic when it strikes. And it strikes during Paris Fashion Week, when an intriguing Frenchman comes into her life. At first, Timmie and Jean-Charles Vernier are only patient and physicians, but neither can deny their growing friendship and the electricity that sparks whenever they meet.
