Praise for
Michelle Willingham’s
The MacEgan Brothers:
HER WARRIOR SLAVE
‘Willingham skilfully combines a cast of wonderfully
original characters with a refreshingly different,
meticulously detailed setting to create a vivid tale of love
and danger in medieval Ireland.’
—Chicago Tribune
‘Michelle Willingham writes characters that feel all too
real. The tortured soul that is Kieran really pulled at my
heartstrings. Iseult’s unfailing search for her lost child
made this book a truly emotional read.’
—Publishers Weekly
THE WARRIOR’S TOUCH
‘… thought-provoking tale of love …’
—RT Book Reviews
HER WARRIOR KING
‘Betrayal, mistrust and anger fire this medieval tale
about how love finds an aching heart
when that heart isn’t looking.’
—RT Book Reviews
SURRENDER TO AN IRISH WARRIOR
‘… heart-wrenching and uplifting, with riveting characters
and a captivating plot. It’s the story of two people
devastated by tragedy, who find comfort
and healing in each other.’
—RT Book Reviews
AUTHOR NOTE
When I first began writing The MacEgan Brothers series, it was born out of my love of Ireland. I’ve visited the country on three occasions, and each time I’ve found a corner of the world that holds both mysticism and wild beauty. From the ancient ruins I imagined a family of five strong warriors, fighting to carve their place in a world threatened by Norman invaders. The books in the series include (in suggested reading order): HER WARRIOR SLAVE (prequel), HER WARRIOR KING, HER IRISH WARRIOR, THE WARRIOR’S TOUCH, TAMING HER IRISH WARRIOR, and SURRENDER TO AN IRISH WARRIOR.
Readers have written to me asking about what happened to the warriors after they found their happily-ever-after, and I began to wonder about the second generation. By the time the last book was finished a few of the warriors’ children were adolescents. I decided to create a series of three stories crafted around the children of my warriors. It’s set during the time of the winter solstice and Christmas, and each story features a daughter or son of one of the MacEgan brothers.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed revisiting familiar characters and getting acquainted with new heroes and heroines. Thank you for sharing the holidays with my MacEgans!
