Born, raised and still living in Richmond, Virginia, Donna discovered a love of reading at an early age.  She eagerly devoured such works as THE HARDY BOYS and NANCY DREW.  Once in high school, she turned her hand to writing.  Many of her works were published in the school’s literary magazine.  Prose, poetry, no genre was off limits to her fertile imagination.

Historical romances became her favorite type of book.  After seeing her two sons graduate, she focused on her writing career and joined the Virginia Romance Writers and Hearts Through History RWA ® chapters.  She hopes her readers will enjoy her curl-in-the-chair, let-the-house-fall-in-around-you romance novels and will come back for more.

To do that, he sets aside his goal of fighting for Irish interests in the courts of London and travels to Boston to find the man responsible for his brother's death. There, he meets Brianna Cavanaugh, and suddenly a chance for a fulfilling future jeopardizes his mission and the redemption of his father's favor.

Brianna Cavanaugh arrived in America, nursing heartache after the brutal slaying of her fiancé.  Now in Boston, a town leagues away from the violence and anguish she left behind in London, she only wants to put the past behind her.  Then, Ian O'Farrell walks into the church soup kitchen, turning her peaceful life upside down as she fights to hold her emotions in check or risk being burned again by love.
