The Unquenchable Fire
Book 2 of The Fire of the Heart Series
Shannon Farrell

Riona Connolly’s saga, first begun in The Fire’s Center, continues as she struggles to make a life for herself in Dublin without her beloved Lucien. Through the enmity of Dr. O’Carroll and Lucien’s sister in law Antoinette, who has always wanted Lucien for herself, the couple seemed destined to separate forever.

Lucien Woulfe continues to battle between temptation and social convention. He aches for Riona with a fevered passion bordering on obsession. But how can he ever marry his former assistant at the clinic? His life with Riona seems so empty and hollow, he begins to question the very nature of the life he has led for so long. But despite being an educated doctor, love seems to be an emotion he knows nothing about.

Yet Riona knows she can’t live without it. The more Lucien demands of her, the more he drives her away, until she is desperate to escape from the life she was so sure she longed for.

Lucien’s brother Quentin proves an unexpected ally and confidant, and soon Riona finds herself returning to her beloved Donegal to fight the Famine there once more, this time on her own terms.

Riona begins to re-build her life slowly. But a shipwreck in the Atlantic sets in motion a series of fateful events which will have earth-shattering consequences for both families.

Only the unquenchable fire of Riona’s spirit and the love she and Lucien share can ever help them overcome the devastation which surrounds them, and threatens all they hold dear.

Can their fiery love win through to a bright future, or will it too become yet another casualty of the Great Blight?
