Synopsis
Darlin’ Irish (Texas Devlins, Book Two): western historical romance; approximate length: 117,000 words Psychics in the Old West? Yes indeed! Say howdy to Lyn Horner’s Texas Devlins, a trio of extraordinary siblings. Darlin’ Irish, the second book in this unique, award-winning series, is a tale of epic adventure and steamy romance set ablaze by flashes of psychic power. Jessie Devlin possesses second sight, the ability to see future events, inherited from the “Old Ones,” her Irish Druid ancestors. A survivor of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, she endures nightmares of the fire in which a gentle, loving stranger saves her life. She believes they are fated to love and a prophetic vision sends her west in search of him. However, a second vision warns of a fiery-eyed madman who may also wait somewhere beyond the horizon. Will her quest lead her to happiness . . . or into a deadly trap? Captain David Taylor is a Texan banished from home after fighting for the North in the War Between the States. Now serving in the frontier army, David meets Jessie on the way back to his post after a trip east. She stares at him as if seeing a ghost, for he looks like the hero in her dreams. While he’s entranced by her beauty, he has no taste for her firecracker temper. She brings to mind someone he’d rather forget. As the two journey west by rail their clashing personalities war with a fiery attraction to one another. Violence dogs their path and explodes in Mormon Utah. Whether love will win the day or be lost forever is a question that hangs in the balance until a shattering final battle between good and evil on the broad Texas plains.
About the Author
Lyn Horner resides in Texas with her husband and several beloved cats. Trained in the visual arts, Horner worked as a fashion illustrator and later as an art instructor for Art Instruction Schools (famous for their "Draw Me" heads.) After quitting work to raise her children, she took up writing as a creative outlet. This hobby grew into a love of historical research and the crafting of passionate romances based upon that research. The author says, "Writing a book is much like putting together a really big jigsaw puzzle. It requires endless patience and stubborn determination to see your ideas come to life, and once hooked on the process, you're forever addicted." A member of Romance Writers of America, Yellow Rose Romance Writers, and Celtic Hearts Romance Writers, Horner is the author of DARLIN’ DRUID, the award winning first book in her Texas Druids trilogy. This western saga features three uniquely gifted siblings, descendents of ancient Irish Druids. DASHING DRUID, book two in the series, is now available, and the third book is "under construction". In addition, a novella titled WHITE WITCH serves as a prelude to the trilogy. Currently available exclusively on amazon.com, this work of historical fiction depicts the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, as seen through the eyes of a clairvoyant young woman who “saw” the catastrophic fire weeks before the first spark ignited. The author knows such a psychic power truly exists, having experienced prophetic dreams herself. Horner has also published a memoir titled SIX CATS IN MY KITCHEN. Six special cats are the headline-grabbing stars, but the book also touches upon subjects such as grieving the loss of loved ones, living with a disability, and coping with major life changes. It's liberally illustrated with photos.
