Irish Lady

the long version

Born in the Belfast slums, Meghann McCarthy has left that life far behind. She's a woman who has made all her childhood dreams come true, becoming a rich, brilliant barrister, living in London's classiest district. Yet Meghann can never quite banish Ireland from her heart, or forget Michael Devlin, the boy from the slums she once loved with a passion that nearly tore her apart. Because she has never forgotten, Meghann agrees to defend Michael -- a notorious Irish nationalist -- when he becomes involved in a avicious court case. But even as she jeopardizes her hard-won success, she at long last finds the true power and spirit of the Irish heritage she has too long denied...and the courage to face her love for Michael Devlin.
