A New World
Price: $1.50
Affaire de Coeur (contemporary author of the year) finalist
Eleanor Thatcher refuses to be charmed by the twinkling eyes and lilting brogue of the Irish balladeer she hires to strum up business for her restaurant. She's far too practical to fall for a fantasy spinner like Cahill McCrea. Yes, his commanding presence weaves a tantalizing, arousing spell, but bitter reality has taught Eleanor that dreamers drift on, leaving only heartache.
Cahill longs to settle down in America. In headstrong Eleanor, he finds the woman to share that future with. But he must convince her of his staying power. And his time in this precious new world is running out …
Patricia says: This was written before the movie Green Card came out, which was released the same year A New World was. Of course, A New World is much better <g>. Cahill was inspired by a comment by a charming old man in a pub in Ireland.
