Ever After

Ever After by Nora Roberts

Beautiful but scatterbrained Allena Kennedy is in Ireland, attempting to redeem herself in the eyes of her overachieving family by working for her sister’s tour-group enterprise. Unfortunately, just as she’s finally getting the hang of being “responsible,” she gets sidetracked by a curio store owner who sells her a beautiful star-shaped pendant. Through a series of slightly strange coincidences, she ends up stranded on a fairly secluded island with hunky, brooding artist, Conal O’Neil. Conal, it appears, is trying to fight fate: a family prophesy predicts that he will pledge his troth to his soulmate on Midsummer’s Night, a woman who is supposed to wear the exact same star-shaped pendant Allena has on.
