As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m in the process of
re-releasing quite a few of my books that, for one reason or another, had been
removed from their original publishers. I released two of them this month, Iron
and Oak. The covers are new, of course, and Oak is the new title for what was
once The Oak King; I may have done a little editing, but other than that, not much has
changed. They’re still two of the Books of my Heart, stories that, for
one reason or another, demanded to be written. And I couldn't be happier to have them both back out in the world.
Although they're not really connected to each other in any way--other than
both being paranormal/fantasy romances set in nineteenth century Ireland--I’ve
decided to release Iron and Oak as part of my new Celtic Legend series. There
will be two more books in the series, Selkie (about a wounded seal-shifter who
is rescued by a fisherman) and Flight (a bird-shifter menage story featuring two
men who had always loved each other and the mysterious woman who almost comes
between them).
I'm super excited about all four of these books--and their pretty new covers!

Nineteenth century
Ireland. Blacksmith Gavin O'Malley is a bitter man, with a heart as hard as the
iron he forges. He wants his life back--the one that was stolen from him the
day his wife died in childbirth--taking their firstborn son with her.
When Aislinn Deirbhile, an immortal, shape-shifting fae, arrives on his doorstep, he knows he's in luck. For Aislinn can give Gavin everything he's been missing: A devoted-seeming wife in the image of his beloved Mairead, and children who are sure to outlive their father. Now, all he has to do is find a way to keep her--without losing his immortal soul in the process.
But Aislinn has an agenda of her own. On the run from a vengeful fae lord who's vowed to either make her his or end her existence, she knows the iron that allows Gavin to take her captive will also keep her pursuers at bay. In order to put herself permanently beyond her enemy's reach, however, Aislinn will need something more. She'll need to win Gavin's heart and convince him to willingly part with a piece of the very soul he's trying to save.

This title was
previously published as The Oak King.
Twice each year, Aine
Murphy ventures into the woods to hold ceremonies to honor the Oak King and the
Holly King, never dreaming these Lords of the Forest could be anything more
than myth. When the legends spring to life in front of her, how can she help
but fall for the sexy demi-gods she's loved all her life?
From midwinter to midsummer, Fionn O'Dair rules the Greenworld as the Oak King--a role he feels is beyond his abilities, and one that dooms him to a loveless future, forever craving the one man he can never allow himself to have. How can he resist what Aine offers--the sweet devotion that soothes his aching soul, and the slim chance to live a "normal" life as her husband, if only for half a year?
Holly King Kieran Mac Cuilenn never desired a human lover--until now. Seeing Fionn and Aine together fills him with longing for the love he threw away and awakens feelings he thought he'd buried with the last Oak King. Is there enough magic in the solstice to correct the mistakes he made years ago? Or is he doomed to be forever left out in the cold?
