Book Description:
Abigail O’Malley
wants to find true love…which is about as easy as catching a
leprechaun.
Abigail O’Malley’s
world turns upside down when a rival Irishman threatens to take her
bar, an historic Savannah landmark, mere days before the start of the
annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration.
When she captures a
leprechaun, her three wishes include his gold, fairy magic, and the
mystery of her One True Love.
Will Michael McKnight have
time to prove he’s up to the task of granting all her wishes before
the bad guys close in and destroy Abby’s dreams forever?
Short Excerpt:
The afternoon had gotten away from her and twilight
loomed, so Abby took the charms and strode across the yard to the old
oak. Her imagination ran wild with thoughts of fairies dancing in the
wooded area, fireflies though they might have been. She longed to see
them again, longed for a time when she had the unfettered mind of
child, when her world revolved around her parents, when she was safe
and loved, and happy.
She approached the old live oak and placed the miniature
fairy door at the base of the tree, just so. Next she settled one of
the delicate little chairs beside it. Now the bench, and the
remaining two chairs belong on the other side, on the old rock. She
walked around the tree, set up the fancy little charms in an inviting
arrangement, squeezed her eyes shut and asked a mighty question of
the universe and whatever power imagination truly held within the
world. She asked for hope, peace, and some way to solve this mess
with her father’s bar.
“Please, little fairies, I need all the luck you can
lend me today. I’m inviting you back to play. Please come back home
and show me what to do.”
A mighty wind kicked up and swirled through the branches
of the grand old oak, fluttering her hair with its force. Abby opened
her eyes then frowned, surprised. Clearly, the stress of it all had
finally taken its toll. The fairy charms vibrated and glowed with
brilliant color, and a leprechaun dressed in a Kelly green suit, with
a top hat and pointed shoes, stood waiting on the other side of the
tree. A radiant smile lit his face.
Abby gasped, stepped back, and scurried around the oak
toward the safety of the house. Then she shrieked. Her world closed
in around her. Her heart hitched and her brain screamed foul. Her
knees chose that moment to give way, and she collapsed into a heap at
the base of the tree.
