SUMMARY: Samantha St. John is a lonely, selfless waitress living in Rochester, Minnesota when she meets an old man in her diner and has lunch with him. That old man is not long for the world and two months later Sam is surprised to learn that he bequeathed his Irish cottage to her. When Kieran McDade visits Samantha to meet the woman that stole his inheritance, he is surprised by her generosity as she willingly sells the cottage back to him for one Euro. Kieran convinces Sam to visit him and the cottage in Ireland. During her visit, Sam discovers that Ireland holds many charms, including a man and his horse, and she may never want to leave. Kieran discovers that Sam is a gift from his father, and he may never let her go. (NICHOLS AND DYMES, Sept., 246 pp., $10.99)
