NOTHING TO LOSE

Pippa invented a past for herself, because anything was better than facing the truth. But when her antics led her into serious trouble, she had to throw herself at the mercy of a powerful Irish chieftain.

EVERYTHING TO GAIN

Aidan's world was crumbling beneath him. He went to London to seek mercy from the queen. Instead, he found an entrancing, mysterious woman who would alter his dreams and change his life forever.

From the gilded halls of London to the wild majesty of Ireland, Pippa and Aidan raced against the dark tide of rebellion. Together, they discovered a love as magical and enduring as a timeless legend.

Good conclusion to the series. I really liked both Pippa and Aidan.

This is a wonderful story. Shows different combinations of a family unit & how they all pretty much have the same problems to work through.

I am enjoying this series so much.
