‘An Irishman should never be trusted.’ That had been drummed into Georgina all her life by her mother and her grandmother before her, each of whom had made a disastrous marriage with an Irishman, and Georgina had never had any reason to doubt the truth of it. So what was she doing at Eagles’ Mount in the wilds of County Kerry, getting engaged to Lian, Chief of the Ardulians? It was in fact a plot on Georgina’s part to get the better of Lian — but the plot rebounded when, against her better judgment, she fell in love with him, only to learn that his reasons for proposing to her had been as dubious as hers for accepting him. Another untrustworthy Irishman — or was it, for once, entirely Georgina’s fault?
