James Weldon likes fast rides, wild women, and to party hard-they go a long way to help him forget the premonition curse he is under. He's a tried and true bachelor who's not about to lose his Free Bird kahunas like his brothers. He's been on a hiatus helping his father after the old man's brush with death. But his plans to get back into the game at a blow-out St. Patrick's Day party go awry. James not only can't find his bachelor's groove because a certain Irish lass by the name of Cierra Weldon has him off kilter, but he gets hijacked from his Savannah home to Manhattan by his brother's top security investigator. They want him to determine if that Irish Lass has ties to terrorists. James knows Cierra is a lot of things, perfect being one of them, but she is not a terrorist. That doesn't mean she isn't being used by one. Her association to billionaire Sheik Hassan al Zayed puts her under suspicion. The moment James hits New York and connects with Cierra, a whirlwind of events unfold-- one of them being a premonition about Cierra. He fears for her life and finds himself sacrificing everything to keep her safe. Even his heart that she somehow managed to steal when he wasn't looking. Horses are Cierra Weldon's life. She may have grown up privileged in a castle-like estate in Ireland, but life hasn't been necessarily easy. When she was sixteen, her parents were killed in a car accident. She took over running her father's racing and stud farm then and now, after eight years, she is looking to expand by establishing a breeding and training farm in the United States-mainly to escape her FOUR overbearing, overprotective brothers. She hasn't found the right place. Her current troubles started when she told Hassan she wasn't interested in his gilded cage. She was stalked, attacked, and now her prized racehorse in Ireland has been stolen. She's sure Hassan's behind it, trying to show her how much she needs him. She concocts a fake engagement with James, hoping Hassan will see she's taken, and "miraculously find" her stolen horse for her. James shows up. Not only does her world go to hell in a handbasket, but her heart falls hard for a man who thinks commitment is a prison sentence. They say life can change in a blink of an eye. What can happen in seventy-two hours? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

At the tender age of sixteen Cierra Weldon took over her father’s stud and racing farm based on their Irish estate after the death of her parent’s in a car accident. Cierra has worked tirelessly toward the farms advancement and expansion into the U.S. This move will have the additional benefit of giving her freedom from her four overprotective brothers. Cierra’s only mis-step in her years on the world equestrian circuit was dating Sheik Hassan al Zayed. His extravagant gifts made her uncomfortable, prompting their return. He too wanted to cage Cierra, even if it was a golden cage. Since telling Hassan she had no interest in continuing a relationship she’s been plagued by a series of “incidents and accidents”. Cierra’s convinced al Zayed is behind all her troubles but he goes too far when her prized racehorse is horsenapped. If Cierra wants to save the farm and her freedom she has to solve this before her brothers discover and become involved. In a desperate attempt to stop al Zayed’s schemes to manipulate her and convince him of her disinterest she claims to be engaged to James Weldon.
James Weldon is a much removed cousin of Cierra. His branch left Ireland ages ago, coming to the New World and settling in Savannah, Georgia. He and Cierra meet when she makes an impromptu trip to visit this distant family branch. The attraction is mutual but James is an avowed bachelor. When Cierra fails to make his annual St. Patrick’s Day bash his curse of precognition kicks in. Thanks to the family’s security business, James is encouraged to head to New York to keep a watchful eye on Cierra. It seems there are dark and sinister forces surrounding her and her beloved horses.
Rather than being far-fetched, the international equestrian world lends itself perfectly to the terrorist premise of HOT IRISH LASS. Its international reach, appeal, money, and ability to move people and cargo with little or no restriction and/or scrutiny make it the perfect arena to implement terrorist activities worldwide.
HOT IRISH LASS is fast paced with plenty of suspense and action while also treating readers to a creditable, touching romance between Cierra and James. James’ curse adds mystery and a dash of convincing woo wooness; at least to a true Southerner. Scoff if you will but Southerners all know someone, usually in the family, who “knows” or has seen things. Ms. Saints is keeping it real in all respects. For plausible romantic suspense look no further than HOT IRISH LASS.
