"Hearts in Sorrow" released by Club Lighthouse Publishing
Hearts in Sorrow by
Deborah O'Toole writing as Deidre Dalton was released by
Club Lighthouse Publishing today. The novel is available at
Amazon (Kindle
and
paperback editions), on
Barnes & Noble (paperback), and on the
Club Lighthouse website (in multiple formats).
Hearts in Sorrow is
the prequel to the ten-part
Collective Obsessions Saga, which chronicles the extraordinary
loves and intricate obsessions between two families sweeping a span
of more than 165 years, most of which are set against the backdrop
of a Gothic seaside mansion in Maine.
Long before emigrating to America to
settle the town of Larkin, Maine, John Larkin falls for the
hauntingly beautiful Maeve O'Quinn in his native Ireland. Although
frail, she returns the love of the future Larkin patriarch in full
measure as she envisions a rosy life with him, little knowing that
fate has other plans for them.
After an unimaginable tragedy, John
is left numb with grief but forges ahead to establish his own
family. He settles for Anne O'Quinn, Maeve's older sister, who holds
no candle to Maeve's beauty. Anne is tall and awkwardly big-boned,
with golden brown hair, a long narrow face and dark coal eyes. She
quickly agrees to marry John, secretly in love with the dashing man
who had been meant for her sister.
Anne wonders if their marriage will
be enough to hold John's interest, especially after they emigrate to
America.
Or will he forsake her for another?
