Ireland, 1916.

Lady Marian Butler has been a disappointment to her father ever since she was born. He wanted a son, and as his only child, Marian is never enough. Maybe that's why she's become involved in the suffragist movement in Dublin, of which he deeply disapproves. But even Lord Butler can't ignore his daughter forever, and after Marian's most recent brush with the law, it's time she was reigned in. Marian is sent to care for the family's crumbling estate in the West of Ireland, where her father hopes she'll learn some responsibility. Moyode Castle is rundown, drafty, and lonely, but Marian is excited by her newfound freedom. And when she meets a tall, dark, and handsome Irish man who speaks intoxicating words of revolution, she finds herself being drawn down a path from which there might be no return.

Jack Ó Dorchaidhe didn't always care about politics; that is, until he served in His Majesty's Army in WWI and saw the horrors that the British Army is inflicting upon the world. Now, back in Ireland, he has taken up the cause of Irish independence, and nothing will stand in his way. That is, until he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Lady Marian Butler. The daughter of an Anglo-Irish aristocrat and landowner, Marian should be his sworn enemy. But the fiery and headstrong gentlewoman seems much more interested in women's suffrage and Irish Home Rule than in reporting Jack to the authorities. Jack knows Marian is off-limits, but as war approaches and violence erupts across the land, he cannot keep himself from trying to protect her, even as he pulls her even deeper toward danger...

The Rebel Who Turned Me is a historical romance novel set against the turbulent backdrop of the fight for Irish independence. Sweeping and rigorously research, it follows two strong, independent people whose class and national divides threaten to tear them apart, even as their love burns brighter than the guns of war.
