Wild Rose of Donegal

“You are very beautiful, Finola…’ The whispered words of Marco de Valdez, the dark-haired, handsome Spanish captain, filled Finola’s heart with joy. Desperately, she longed to belong to this man.

It was by a strange quirk of fate that their paths had crossed, he of noble birth, she from the stark, lonely mountains of northwest Ireland. But from the moment of their meeting, their hearts reached out to each other, and their minds too shared a strange mystical union. But Finola, wild and spirited, was the niece of Clan Chief Hugh O’Donnell, lord of all Donegal. And he had decreed she should wed Con O’Neill, while Marco was already betrothed to a Spanish beauty. And he was a man of honour and of virtue. How could they defy the world, and claim their own happiness..?
