ABOUT THE BOOK
The Thrill of Romantic Suspense Meets the Romance of 1800s America
Lured by a handful of scribbled words across a faded letter, Cara Hamilton sets off from 1896 Ireland on a quest to find the brother she'd thought dead. Her search lands her in America, amidst a houseful of strangers and one man who claims to be a friend--Rourke Walsh.
Despite her brother's warning, Cara decides to trust Rourke and reveals the truth about her purpose in America. But he is not who he claims to be, and as rumors begin to circulate about an underground group of dangerous revolutionaries, Cara's desperation grows. Her questions lead her ever closer to her brother, but they also bring her closer to destruction as Rourke's true intentions come to light.

Margie's Comments: Elizabeth Ludwig has another winner in my book. The characters are wonderful. I've fallen in love with Rourke, even with his conflicted soul. And Cara is a dear, so trusting and lovable. Her desire to champion her brother's reputation in spite of everything to the contrary keeps the reader's attention and draws them further into the book. I love how we see New York City through an immigrant's eyes—so new and foreign to her Irish country life. I highly recommend No Safe Harbor.

Hi, Margie! Thank you for reading and reviewing NO SAFE HARBOR. I'm glad you enjoyed Cara and Rourke's story.
Book two in this series, DARK ROAD HOME, is all about Cara's brother, Eoghan. I'm curious, were you able to pick up the pronounciation of his name from the context clues I left? How did you say his name in your head?
Hi Elizabeth! Before I picked up on the clues, I was pronouncing it Eh-o-gan. Ha! I should know better, since I'm 1/4 Scots! I know those old names aren't pronounced phonetically. Still . . . it's a great name, whichever way it's pronounced. :)
