Words Left Unsaid

A chance meeting and an act of kindness lead to forbidden love in an adventure that takes Keenan and Gwendolyn Murphy from Boston to the Kentucky frontier.
Raised by cruel grandparents in Ireland, Keenan Murphy arrives in Boston searching for the father he never knew. On a deserted country road he meets a young woman and feels the instant spark of attraction. He steals a kiss and loses his heart, only to discover that she is his half- sister, Gwendolyn. Despite honorable intentions and the love of a new family, Keenan is unable to forget the magic of that first encounter even as he works to become a successful farmer.
Gwen Murphy has never lacked for suitors. Considered by many to be the loveliest girl in Boston, she is poised to make a respectable match when she is brutalized by an attack that destroys her innocence. Keenan’s defense of Gwen places the family in danger and they are forced to flee the comforts of Boston and find refuge on the Kentucky frontier. There she finds the strength to flourish despite heartbreaking losses, but how can she ever be happy when the man she loves is the only one she can never have?
