Imaginative and wonderfully gifted, Judith O'Brien has delighted readers and reviewers alike with her time-travel novels. Romance of any genre doesn't come any better, says Publisher's Weekly. Now she journeys across the sea to Ireland, where a young, thoroughly American woman has inherited an eighteenth-century townhouse, and an unforeseen destiny.

Maura Finnegan is utterly taken with the quaint, romantic nature of her new home on Merrion Square ... as well as the dashing, elegant ghost who lives there. Lingering to solve the mystery surrounding his death, the apparition appeals to Maura for help in his desperate quest, and unknowingly leads her to Donal Byrne -- the extraordinarily handsome man who holds the long-buried secret. Maura's about to discover the compelling history behind her own Irish roots...and a love that transcends the barriers of time.
