Can an Irish immigrant maid in Turn-of-the-Century America find life-changing love? Growing up amid the serene emerald hills of Ireland in the late 1800's, best friends Maggie and Caroline had an unbreakable link. Despite their differences in station, Maggie promised to stay with Caroline forever. Then a suave viscount courts Caroline and takes them all to America, but tempers flare when betrayal creates cracks to break their lifetime bond, leaving Maggie alone to fend for herself in a new world. Determined to make her own way without a man, Maggie uses her seamstress skills and Irish wit to experience America as it turns a page from the Victorian gilded age into the 20th century. But when an accidental meeting sparks a kinship with a handsome and funny Scottish bricklayer, will the friendship she wants turn into a love she never thought she would have? Or will her Irish temper and mistrust get in the way? This is the second book in the Timeless American Historical Romance series, featuring members of the McIntyre family as they find love amidst pivotal events in 20th century American History. The Sailor and the Songbird, the first book in the series, introduces a whirlwind romance during WWII between Maggie's grandson, charming sailor Red and a beautiful USO singer.
