What happens when a woman falls in love with a 'wounded' man who's still snagged by his past?Marianne has two choices.Heed the warnings of her best friend, Ana, or submit to the stirrings of her heart.Kieran has only one choice.If he wants to restore the man he once was, he needs to allow his heart to talk, not the black beast of his fear.The choice each makes leads to relationships that teeter on the edge of failure, and an odyssey with monstrous unforeseen circumstances that show what it is to love deeply and abundantly.For the Love of Kieran is an agonizingly tender tale of a late-in-life love. It's a third chance romance for Marianne but a fourth chance romance for Kieran. They both discover that when love finds you in your fifties and sixties, it is a whole lot more complicated.

In life you find three kinds of people: those who will change your life, those who will harm your life and those who will be your life.- AnonymousA woman blindsided by a lover who is not what he appears, a devoted husband who breaks the law to keep a promise, an unbreakable bond of male friendship over the rise and fall of fortunes, and a boy who must, from fragments, piece together the man he will become.Within Sunshine and Shadow showcases stories that are compelling, highly nuanced, psychologically precise and at times amusing. Each story willingly explores the variety and depth of what it is to be human.The stories will appeal to the reader who enjoys literary fiction, is curious about what lies beneath the surface of situations and relationships, reads to be entertained as well as educated and who prefers plots that are character-driven.Each story is illustrated with an original pen and ink drawing whose relevance is only revealed as the story is read.
