They call her
Selkie. Muireann O'Malley often felt she was born of the sea but refuses to let
sentimentality stand in the way of her crusade to protect the shore she has
wandered since a small child. A patch of West Clare, Ireland
Tynan Sloane
should be content with success, but a dream beckons. O'Fallon's Pub in historic
downtown Boston Ireland
Fifteen years ago, they had an adolescent
crush. Now disparate ambition and a legend as old as Ireland
Teaser Excerpt:
Nearly everything about
Muireann was contrary to his long-held list of
requirements. She was not only
opinionated and devotedly
rural Irish, but she liked to swim in the sea, stand on
the edges of precipitous cliffs, and had a dog with an
appetite for expensive shoes.
All he knew was he couldn’t
imagine booking it back to Boston
He rose and stepped behind
her. Though they stood in shadow, the heat of her
body warmed him. He
breathed in her scent and
tried to keep from touching her.
Resisting her was not
possible. He placed his hands on her shoulders and let his
lips tickle the back of her neck.
She trembled.
“Sorry, did I startle you?”
he whispered.
“No.” She turned to face
him. “Let’s forget this for awhile.”
“Forget what?” He tried to
read her eyes.
“Bertie, his stories, the
land…all the controversy.”
“Sounds like a grand idea.
After all, we have very little time and I barely
know you, Muireann.”
“Why do you think you want
to know me any better than this, Ty?”
“You fascinate me.”
“Are you sure you’re not
just trying to get into my knickers?”
His hand went to his heart
in mock distress. “You wound me! Do you take me for
a shallow man?”
“A man.” She licked her
lips.
The gesture, whether
intentional or not, punched the breath out of him. “You
really shouldn’t do that.”
“What? This?” She licked her
lips again, more slowly this time. Her hands
crept around his waist and
stroked the muscles at his
back.
“Yeah, that.” Ty pulled her
a little tighter against him. “We could stand here
and pursue that line of
reasoning or we could go
back to your cottage.” He wasn’t sure if the thunder
was coming from the clouds off the sea or his blood
coursing through his body. “It’s going to bucket on us.” As
he examined the sky, the first drops hit them. He
released her from his embrace and took her hand.
“Which way is the fastest?”

About the Author
A word about the author...
Clare Austin submitted her
first manuscript to a publisher at the age of eight years. She wishes she still
had that rejection letter.
Many years and not a few
stories later, with characters knocking at the inside of her cranium and begging
to be released, Clare’s romantic comedy, Butterfly, was published. There
followed a suspenseful sequel, Angel’s Share, and Hot Flash, a women’s fiction/romance
for mature women and the men who love them.
Clare lives in the beautiful
Rocky Mountains and enjoys her horses, playing her violin, and
traveling to Ireland
