The Hart's Rest: An Irish Medieval Historical Romance - Paperback

by Sophia Nye (Author)

She needs to protect her Inn. He needs to protect his oath. What happens when their world's collide and love comes from the most unexpected of places?

Conan O'Conor has never been more excited about burning bridges. His king's rivals recently finished construction on a causeway meant to act as a blockade. The mission is simple: create a cover, infiltrate the town, destroy the bridge. Simple.

Until Conan lays eyes on the bold and beautiful Alannah.

Alannah nic Lorcan lives to protect her sister. On their own from a young age, she's had no choice but to guard Emer as they manage their inn-The Hart's Rest. Men are constantly after Emer, looking to take advantage of her sweet disposition. Fading into the background as she stands guard over Emer, Alannah is rarely a target of their affections. Until a handsome bard comes to stay at the inn.

When the charming Conan propositions her for just one night, Emer pushes Alannah to take advantage of the opportunity and have a little fun. What harm could come of it from one night?

A lot, as it turns out. The longer the bards stay at The Hart's Rest, the more difficult it becomes to keep Conan at arm's length. And the more suspicious she becomes of his true purpose in town.

As Conan grows closer to Alannah, he realizes three things. First, he's falling fast for the brave and clever owner of The Hart's Rest. Second, keeping his identity a secret is a lot harder when he's involved with her. And third, if she discovers his plans to destroy the bridge that's holding up her business, she'll never forgive him.
