The Cliffs of Night

the long version

*Grania Kirk* has a bad case of overwork and rejected love. The trip to Ireland is supposed to take care of all that. And it does . . . but not before she becomes embroiled with types of such vivid Irishness that they seem sometimes like figments of her own dear American-Irish grandmother's overheated imagination. *Quinn Griffin*, for instance, who has a gleam in his smiling blue Irish eyes and a sinister secret in his wild Irish heart. *Terence Blake*, the architect who quotes Wilde in such a beautiful voice, and doesn't mind lending a hand to a bit of kidnapping. *Alanna Blake*, the gentle, scholarly archaeologist who may not scruple about crime when it comes to protecting her beloved Irish antiquities. *Tommy O'Flaherty*, hard and strong, ex-IRA fighter, the ideal Irish tough to scare a girl in the dark places of the most frightening cliffs in the world. Dope smuggling, a lost and ancient buried treasure, a corpse, the Dread Women of the Moher cliffs . . . it's enough to steal a girl's breath away—before it steals her heart.
