She was everything I needed and more than I’d ever deserved. Bradan "Claddagh" Adair Six years ago, I claimed an ol' lady, and a year later, she gave me the greatest gift any man could ask for - a son. But bringing our son into the world came at the price of her life, and my heart never recovered. Through the years, I've celebrated my brothers finding their women and starting families, but for me, it's just my son and I. I don't ever want to risk him and I loving someone who might leave us again. But the most important woman in my son's life is his school counselor. An intelligent, shy beauty named Clara Rogers, who has my son's heart . . . and my attention more than I want to admit. With my President missing and his ol' lady needing the club more than ever, the last thing I need is extra drama on my plate. Too bad I don't have a choice when I drive past Clara's one night to find her in the dirt, in tears, her face bloody and bruised. Bringing her under my protection is without question, but getting her to open up about who hurt her is like pulling teeth with rubber pliers— it's damn near impossible. Until the very man shows up looking for her, and he's a damn cop to boot. Now, he wants Clara back, but there's no way I'm giving her up, and I don't care what force we have to go up against. No one is gonna hurt this woman again, not now that she's mine, and her ex-husband better realize— Irishmen aren't scared of the cops, no matter how crooked they are.

Bestselling author Malachy McCourt recounts the story of the Claddagh ring, a timeless symbol of friendship, loyalty, and love formed by two clasped hands and worn by millions in Ireland and around the world. He celebrates this beloved Irish cultural icon through vivid anecdotes, charming folk tales, and recent incidents. The titular bauble-a pair of hands clasping a crowned heart with the motto "Let love and friendship reign"--is a traditional Irish emblem passed from mothers to daughters and granddaughters, exchanged by betrothed couples or given to friends, and worn by Queen Victoria, Jennifer Aniston and the rock band U2. McCourt ... is wary of the subject's potential to evoke "dreary sentimentality, enough to make a person vomit," but he steadies himself and gives a pleasant rundown of associated lore-a classic Irish mixture of improbable legend and historical tragedy. -Publishers Weekly

His mission: thwart any attempt by the Nazis to capture one of the country's ports. If he fails, the Germans will sever Britain's Atlantic lifeline to America and Canada. In a briefing before heading overseas, Tommy is warned to keep his eyes open for two potential adversaries: The Irish Blueshirts, a Fascist organization, and the Danann Brotherhood and Auxiliary. The DB&A is believed to the political wing of the Faerie World. Tommy travels to Galway, on Ireland's west coast, where he experiences an extraordinary series of adventures in which he combats Nazi spies, is pursued by a Faerie Princess, meets a priest who practices Druidism on the side, and attends a gigantic Faerie rally at Blarney Castle. The story reaches its climax atop legendary Dun Aengus, an early Celtic fortress guarding Galway Bay. Can Tommy prevent a German invasion that could knock Britain out of the war? Can he overcome the threat of the Faerie World to restore pagan rule to Ireland?
