Book excerpt: Leading a quiet life in County Clare, Justine O'Leary was counting down the weeks to her safe and predictable wedding to Paul Smithers, a respectable local reverend. Her world is thrown into chaos when Father Michael O'Neil visits her family home to settle a feud with a neighbouring family. Although he has taken a vow of celibacy, something about the dashing cleric makes her question her future. Justine senses the priest feels the same way but knows she must never give in to her secret love. Making a heart-wrenching decision, her life is torn apart by threats, pain and isolation. Will marital respectability bring misery to the rest of Justine's life - 'until death do they part'? Or, one day, might the two forbidden lovebirds have a chance of happiness?
