Ræliksen,
Book 1
Mara,
the daughter of an Irish clansman, was raised to believe the men of
the North are heathens - murderous pagans without a moral bone in
their bodies. Despite warnings of the Northmen's raids, and the
growing threat of another incursion, Mara is continually drawn to her
favorite place - the River Shannon.
Dægan Ræliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway's frozen fjords, secretly discovers Mara at the water's edge. He is charmed by her beauty and sensuous grace. As the days pass, his contentment with simply watching her grows thin. He can no longer deny his unabated desire for the young maiden. His search for a wife has ended.
However, Mara and Dægan come face-to-face in a time when Ireland is in turmoil - when every Irishman is being called up to fight against the Nordic foreigners. In these times of upheaval, how can Dægan make peace with Mara's father and acquire the woman he treasures? Furthermore, can Mara move past her fears and find the noble man within the savage?

Quote:
“You
are correct in saying that desires often come from things we cannot
easily gain—mine, being that of your love. By all accounts, I do
wish I could steal it. But I am not that sort of man. I will wait.
Forever and a day…I will wait.”

Breandán
Mac Liam, the strapping young hunter from Ireland’s lush forests,
is in love with Mara, an ineligible beautiful princess. For seven

through his heart and soul.
An

Irishman’s longing. She is living out her days on Inis Mór,

The
Fall of Rain, Book 3
Leif
Dæganssen, an archeologist from Norway, is determined to trace back
his Scandinavian roots as far as the Dark Ages and find proof of
their existence on the Emerald Isle. After several years of living
off the west coast of Ireland, he finally uncovers an ancient
artifact—an intricately decorated chest with pagan carvings—buried
beneath the very porch of his coastal cottage. Knowing it only
confirms the presence of a glorified Norse-influenced settlement on
Inis Mór, he’s determined to establish a link between himself and
those who once inhabited the rugged isle.
For as long as she can remember, Lorraine O’Connor has had dreams of a Norse warrior kissing her. And even though she’s never fully understood the reason for her vivid subconscious imagination, she welcomes the meaningless and wanton pleasure of being in a Viking’s protective embrace—until the day she meets that brazen Northman on an impulsive vacation trip to Ireland.
Though blindsided by the relevance of her dreams and the strange familiarity of the man within them, Lorraine can’t help but feel a deep-seated intimacy toward Leif. And the more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced they’ve shared a life together in a time long forgotten.

Are
the clues to their ancestral past hidden within the contents of the
chest or buried deep within their hearts?

Quote:
“What
Lorraine has told you is the honest truth. There’s no denying who
you are. But until you go in that house and dig up the evidence for
yourself, you’ll never know who you used to be. Oh, I know you’ll
realize it one day. By then, I fear it’ll be too late. So, don’t
be a fool and let the only woman you’ve ever loved slip through
your grasp. Three days, Leif.”
Reviews:
"I
didn't believe it was possible to take Daegan and Mara's incredible
love story to another level, but I am extremely pleased to be wrong.
Every word seemed to have a purpose in helping create a beautiful and
poetic ending to an unforgettable trilogy. If you've never heard of
the name Renee Vincent then you're missing out on quality reading
that's worth every second of your undivided attention. It's an
escapists dream and I will most certainly be back for more."
