By Meyari McFarland

The six days between new and old year in Aingeal were a time of feasting and family.

Gwen was more than happy to feast. She'd rather spend less time helping her brother Cadfael shop instead of eating.

Until Tierney Nolan walked in and stole her heart.

Unfortunately, Gwen had no hope of more, not when Nolan's family had nothing to offer the Dana and every reason to want her to go away.
