From USA Today Bestselling Author May McGoldrick...
The Rebel
SEQUEL TO...THE PROMISE


WANTED...for crimes against the king

In retaliation for the brutality of the English troops. The Irish rebel Egan is fighting back, leading a secret group of revolutionaries—and building his legend across the country. 


REJECTED...by his own family

Jane Purefoy is a woman with a past. The daughter of an English magistrate, she watched her Irish lover die on the gallows. Now Jane's reputation is ruined—and she has all but ceased to exist is the eyes of her family. 


DESIRED...with a forbidden passion.

Sir Nicholas Spencer is on his way to Woodfield House to court the youngest Purefoy sister when he runs afoul of Egan. Not a man to be cowed, Nicholas wrestles the rebel to the ground and unmasks him—only to uncover Jane's lovely countenance. Bewitched by the spirited lass, Nicholas decides to keep her secret while embarking on a risky plan of seduction, one that will throw her family into chaos, the country into rebellion, and his heart into the throes of a love that can never be...


Publishers Weekly

McGoldrick explores Georgian Ireland in this latest offering, which features the extensive historical detail for which the husband-and-wife team is known. The story's strong pacing, likeable hero and heroine and surprising twists and turns push the plot.

From Booklist

The Irish rebel Egan and his band have been a thorn in the side of the British Crown for years, but something goes dreadfully wrong on their latest mission.
Skillfully blending history and romance, McGoldrick borrows the hero's best friend from her previous book, The Promise and gives him a courageous, stubborn heroine of his own to love in this vivid, compelling historical.
