Luck of the Irish
by J. A. Ferguson

THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE...

Brian O'Rourke is on a quest for his father—the king of the leprechauns. His father foolishly signed a contract that can only be broken if the king's shillelagh is found before midnight on St. Patrick's Day. Brian has the soft music left by the shillelagh to guide him. Will his Irish charm and leprechaun magic be enough to find it before his people vanish?

Maggie Squires no longer believes in magic. After a stroke left her grandfather in a nursing home, responsibilities are heavy on her. When a tall and handsome Irishman comes into the family's diner, she's glad to let him work in exchange for room and board. But there's something different about Brian. He seems to believe in magic. He seems to be able to do magic.

Can Maggie accept the truth of what Brian really is? And will she be willing to help him in his search for the shillelagh before it's too late? Brian realizes the answer may be in introducing her to the sweetest magic of all...love.
