Mist na Mara #4

Irish Deceptions

Rate this book
Ellie Vaughan relocates to Ireland after a devastating car accident which halts her career as a professional dancer. She finds a new but equally rewarding life teaching dance at the Mist Na Mara Arts Centre amidst the beautiful surroundings of Connemara and the stunning scenery of Ireland’s west coast.

A chance meeting with charismatic Irish actor Dan Nicholas leads to them working together as director and choreographer of a musical show at the local school. Their mutual attraction grows, until Ellie discovers Dan has deceived her. He, in turn, is shocked and angered by what he believes is her lack of honesty.

As soon as one problem appears to be resolved, another takes its place, with Ellie’s former dancing partner and Dan’s ex-girlfriend adding to the complications, as well as a thirteen-year-old schoolboy, who is hiding his own secret.

When the deceptions mount up, can Ellie and Dan find a way to overcome all the obstacles that threaten to tear them apart?

Another great Irish Martin novel

You know you are reading a great story when you can't wait to get back to the book to see what the characters are up to. These characters are so true to life that, by the end of the story, you feel like you have to say goodbye to new friends and it makes you a little sad despite the happy ending. I recommend you read all the Irish Martin novels.
