The Hangman's Noose

Roisin doesn't realize what she's in for when she comes to Ireland to visit Mimi Doran, her maternal grandmother. Since her mother's death, her father has been in charge of her life. And there is no love lost between him and the Doran side of the family. Peter McNally has told her all about the Doran witches who were hung for poisoning people.

When Roisin accepts a job from a couple who refuse to reveal what it is they do, her anxiety mounts. What are these computer images all about? The standing stones, women dressed in medieval costumes, and forest vistas all without any text to identify them, make no sense. Sara and Ronan tell her that she needs to stop the thinking part of her brain and allow her intuition to take over, but she doesn't know how to do this.

Roisin understands that her grandmother sells herbal remedies, but along with the strangeness of the websites, she's also been hearing about the Fae and an enchanted forest. Her father wants to come and get her--should she stay or go back to New York? The one thing keeping her in Ireland is the dark-haired man who is one of her employers. Ronan seems oddly familiar and she finds that she's very attracted to him. And from what she intuits, he feels the same.

The truth is just out of reach for Roisin until she takes an unexpected trip into the enchanted forest. What happens under those trees will change her life forever.
