The Celtic Fan

For Steve Riley, it's time to make a decision that will change his life forever. All he did was go looking for an elusive author. All he wanted was the story of a lifetime. As a features journalist for a large paper, Steve thought he'd get the scoop. But a flash flood in a tiny little mountain town traps him with Diana Frazier, a woman whose many fractures in life have left her quiet and withdrawn in her mountain home. As Steve continues to secretly search for author Nick Roberts, he draws some shocking conclusions, the greatest of which is that the woman he's found is the one he's been looking for his whole life. When the bridge is repaired and the floodwaters are gone, Steve has to decide if the life he's started there is worth foregoing the one he's worked his whole life to build. He can't just walk away, or at least that's what he thinks. It all comes down to one photo, and Steve has to make a choice between following the path he thought he wanted to travel and going down a new one that will lead straight to the "happily ever after" of his own story. The Celtic Fan is an unusual contemporary romance that follows Steve's tale, but with a bonus: Portions of Nick Roberts' book appear at the end of every chapter, a post-WWII romance of an injured Scot-Irish American soldier and the young Jewish girl who steals his heart. It's a poignant reminder that not all stories have a happy ending. Let the Great Smoky Mountains be the backdrop for your most romantic read ever-get a copy today!
