The night was dark and stormy . . . and when Niall Maguire stepped out of the mist--his raincoast flapping in the wind--it was all Kate could do not to flee. But she'd come to the village of Cragg's Head, Ireland, to uncover the truth about her friend's death. And that meant questioning Niall, the woman's dark, mysterious husband. The man everyone believed had pushed his wife over the cliff.

Niall took Kate to his home, a deserted castle high on the rugged coastline. As the ocean crashed wildly below, Kate longed for her light-filled California home. But Niall's story--and the secret he was determined to keep--fascinated her. The question now was, could she trust him? The cynic within--and the townsfolk--told her no. But her heart said yes.

"Author Janice Macdonald beautifully blends the mystery of Ireland with an entrancing romance in THE MAN ON THE CLIFF. An otherworldly quality pervades the novel, influencing characters to act on their impulses and believe in the magic of destiny. The clash of differences between Californian Kate and Irishman Niall highlights far more than a simple geographical distance. As Ireland works its magic, however, Kate and Niall find commonalities and attraction that threaten to either pull them apart forever, or link their destinies forever. Further, the truth regarding folksinger Moruadh's death also lurks within the concealing shrouding fog, along with those determined to maintain the secrets of the past, adding danger and intrigue to the plotting. Macdonald pulls these varying elements together with finesse, creating a novel rich in atmosphere and filled with fascinating characterizations. THE MAN ON THE CLIFF comes highly recommended."
