Emerald Coat She Wears: A Novel

For fans of Kate Morton and Susanna Kearsley, a sweeping Irish historical mystery—inspired by a real-life seventeenth-century feud—in which a modern-day woman races to uncover dangerous ancestral secrets that threaten to cost her the man she loves.

Cate Martin’s life is unraveling. Once a competitive archer, her confidence is faltering along with her aim. Haunted by the tragic death of her parents, she is stunned to discover an old deed in her father’s office naming her heir to Castlemore, an Irish manor house she never knew existed. Desperate for answers—and escape—Cate travels to Ireland, lured by vivid dreams of seventeenth-century life at Castlemore.

In the mist-covered countryside, she is drawn to Tighe McDermott, a man grappling with his own wounds. As they grow closer, a string of murders rattles the quiet community, leaving behind cryptic clues that entangle Cate and Tighe in a dangerous mystery.

Sweeping, romantic, and inspired by a forgotten chapter of Irish history, The Emerald Coat She Wears explores how the past inhabits the present—and how love, courage, and lineage are forged across generations.
