The Fire's Centre; A Novel of the Famine-buy!
Sorcha Mac MurroughDuring the time of the Irish potato famine, a young woman takes a post at the clinic of a handsome doctor. But their growing attraction to each other is forbidden in the straight-laced society of Victorian Dublin.
I can't think of a better title for this novel, because it really sizzles. The hero is so resistant to the idea of being in love that he nearly throws away any chance of happiness with the woman who is obviously his soul mate.
Riona, on the other hand, is so intent on her desire to help the poor during the Famine, that she is willing to risk losing the only man who can set her heart afire. She can be wilful at times, but her heart is always in the right place, and the love the couple have for each other transcends all boundaries in the end. Gritty, realistic, yet romantic, this is another winner from this wonderful romance writer.

The Hart and the Harp-buy!
Sorcha Mac MurroughShive McDermont and Tiernan O'Hara agree to wed to end a five-year feud between their clans, and the unlikely alliance leads to love.
This is another fantastically clever romantic suspense novel from this prolific and talented writer. From the first sentence we are plunged into the world of twelfth century Irish power politics in which nothing is as it seems. The marriage of convenience has been done before, but never quite like this.
I admire the hero enormously for his courage, fortitude and obvious love for the heroine despite all the difficulties they must face in learning to trust one another. His stubborn pride does keep them apart, but the heroine too has reasons of her own for avoiding admitting she loves him body and soul. This novel shows that where there is true love, it will find a way. Exuberant and joyous, it is a thoroughly enjoyable read. - Evelyn Trimborn

ISBN: 158345005X Hunger for Love-buy! Sorcha Mac Murrough After being evicted from their home at the height of the potato famine, Emer Nugent and her family emigrate from Ireland to Canada. When Emer meets the enigmatic Dalton Randolph, they fall in love, but darker forces are at work against them.
"Thrilling from first to last. Both volumes are historically accurate, with wonderful characters. I felt as though I was really there every step of the way with Emer and her family, and the books certainly were an eye-opener about some of the lesser-known details of what really went on during the Famine. Well-researched, with great romance and suspense, it is also a moving tribute to the courage of the Irish spirit, which refused to be cowed by such tragedies. A joyous read from first to last, and a winner for anyone interested in all things Irish. Don’t miss the sequel The Hungry Heart; sheer brilliance from a masterful storyteller." - Carolyn Stone

The Hungry Heart; A Novel of the Famine-buy!
Sorcha Mac MurroughEmer Nugent leaves her lover Dalton Randall to search for her family in the hell of the Grosse Ile quarantine station. The land of opportunity is nearly the death of them all. Dalton is deceived into thinking Emer is dead by his father, and is about to marry the daughter of a business rival when he meets Emer again. Outraged that his father, and is about to marry the daughter of a business rival when he meets Emer again. Outraged that his plans for keeping the two apart have failed, Dalton's father has Emer arrested on false charges and transported back to Ireland.
But the Ireland she returns to is on the brink of civil war. Emer finds herself unwittingly embroiled in the 1848 rebellion, and is put on trial for her life. Dalton must travel half way across the world to try to save her before it is too late. "This second volume of the saga of Emer Nugent and her family certainly doesn’t disappoint. Suspenseful, moving, romantic, I was on the edge of my seat wondering how on earth the book was going to end. Fast-paced, tightly written, it was a pleasure to read such stirring book on the topic of the Famine and the less well-known 1848 rebellion in Ireland. The secondary characters too have a vivid life of their own, and I love the men especially: compelling, sexy, and ever so brave. They form an excellent foil to the strong heroine.
Like the first volume, Hunger for Love, it is well-researched, and a moving tribute to the courage of the Irish spirit, which refused to be cowed by the tragedy of the Famine and its colonial status. Both books are joyous read from first to last, and a winner for anyone interested in all things Irish. If you haven’t read Hunger for Love, yet, you are in for a real treat, and this worthy conclusion to Emer and Dalton’s adventures is sure to please as well." Carolyn Stone

An Experience in Four Movements-buy!
Lidmila SovakovaA historical puzzle situated in the seventeenth century, the pieces of which reconstruct the infatuation of a poet with a princess, culminating in the death of the poet, and the retreat of the princess within the walls of a monastery.
"This is fascinating novel, beautifully written. Suspenseful, romantic, mysterious, she captures deftly the seventeenth-century historical figures’ characters. Haunting in its intensity, we follow the courtly intrigue with bated breath as the novel comes to its poignant conculsion. This book, in addition to Ms. Sovakova’s other works, surely establishes her as one of the most talented writers of innovative fiction in English as well as French." Sorcha Mac Murrough

It is a privilege to work with such a fine writer
Lidmila is not only a fantastic writer, but a marvelous human being. She is able to capture human experience, the pain, love and loss, in a truly moving way. Though well recognised in French reading circles, it was about time her prodigious talents were appreciated in the English-speaking world. I look forward to the next four books we plan to publish, and hope all the readers of this splendid tour-de force will too.An Experience in Four Movements; An Historical Puzzle-buy!

Carolyn StoneCambridge scientist Sophie Ruskin is propelled into a world of espionage and intrigue when her father disappears on his way to an important advanced-technology conference.
"A thrilling read from start to finish. I couldn’t put the book down. It’s got more twists and turns than a slippery eel. And as for the romantic bits, talk about sizzling! The heroine is gutsy and determined, a real modern woman, and as for the leading man! Wow! I sure wouldn’t throw him out of my bed for eating crackers!
"On a more serious note, the details of the struggle in the war-torn former Soviet republic are very well-researched. Ms. Stone’s skill, experience, and dedication as a journalist are evident, though the facts are intermingled with a heavy leavening of clever artistic licence. This is one author to watch out for!"
