Ballyrourke American-born Katherine Rourke uncovers dark secrets, family rivalries, and the fiery passion of Colin MacCormack at BALLYROURKE . . . . Where the rainbow ends. American born Katherine O’Rourke has just inherited Ballyrourke, a grand, sprawling estate her grandparents owned. Why had it been kept a secret until her mother died? Why had her mother hid her Irish roots from her? Determined to discover the reasons for her mother’s secrets and her father’s mysterious death, she ventures to Ireland, where she intends to sell the estate to the highest bidder. But she is unprepared for the prejudice she encounters because of her British ties, or for the passion the Irish rebel Colin stirs in her blood. The secrets of Ballyrourke are well-kept – especially by Colin MacCormack, the handsome, fiery estate manager who is torn between his love for the land, which once belonged to his clan -- and his feelings for Katherine, the proud, determined woman who stands in his way of getting it back. He would fight to the death for Ballyrourke before letting it be sold to strangers. To Colin, the land is sacred, and Katherine is the enemy. But as the truth of Katherine’s family is slowly uncovered, a passion is sparked that could change the fate of Ballyrourke forever.
