NOTHING CAN STAY HIDDEN FOREVER...

During the Soviet-Afghan war an elite team of operatives were trained in the mountains of Afghanistan. Loyal to the Provisional Irish Republican Army, they were known only by their codename, Black Shuck.

In the years that followed — betrayed from within by the internal power struggles of the IRA — the team members were hunted down. Three survived, fading into the turbulent streets of Northern Ireland. To this day, their identities remain a mystery — but nothing can stay hidden forever.

For years, Declan McIver has lived under the radar — married to a beautiful woman and operating a successful business — but that life is about to change. When a planned meeting with an old friend goes horribly wrong, Declan finds himself on the run from a shadowy conspiracy that will stop at nothing to keep their evil intentions a closely guarded secret.

To survive, he'll have to rely on long dormant training and reach deep within himself to a place and time he'd hoped to never return. As his past is laid open for the world to see and events spiral further out of control — who will win and at what cost?

[close] To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the landing of the B17 "T'Aint a Bird" in West Cork (April 1943), I would like to offer 3 free print copies to Goodreads readers!

Mary Burke, a beautiful woman trapped in a loveless marriage, gets on with life in neutral Ireland until one day the war comes crashing down on her doorstep when a B17 bomber makes a forced landing in West Cork.

Based on the actual landing of B17 bomber “T’Aint a Bird” during WWII, "Only a Paper Moon" is an enthralling story of unexpected love.

“Who did he think he was, dropping out of a plane like that, with his fancy ways, singing to her about Paper Moons?”
