    About this ebook

    Conall O’Keefe learns he’s the sole heir to the estate of Shamus O’Keefe, his roguish and extremely wealthy great-great-grandfather. After arriving in the small coastal town of Round Harbor, he learns more about his family history and begins to realize he has more in common with Shamus than he could have ever imagined.
    The Will included strange stipulations; the heir’s eye color had to be amber, the same Shamus’, and he would have to live in the family mansion for a period of one year. As Conall prepares the mansion to live in, his life becomes intertwined with two local women, Ellen and Sam. They become friends, drawn to each other by some unseen connection. In the end, all three share the mysterious and lusty legacy of the descendant.

    Writing fiction has been an interest, a passion of mine, since I was quite young. The stories, as you might imagine, are those I would enjoy reading myself. Considerable effort has been spent ensuring these stories are as interesting, readable, and professionally crafted as possible. All are free. I write for the joy of it and hope you enjoy them as well.

      Driving past an old pub in a Gloucestershire village, Dad caught my eye in the rear-view mirror. ‘That’s a haunted pub, there, Becki,’ he told me. ‘Cavaliers haunt this place. It was a royalist stronghold in the civil war…’ As he talked, I listened,
