The Maid of Ballymacool: A Novel
"A slow—building, delicious romance wrapped in a mystery!"—Erica Vetsch, author of the Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries

Brianna Kelly has worked at Ballymacool House and Boarding School since she was a wee girl and will likely die there. Despite a sense that she was made for something more, Brianna feels powerless to change her situation, so she consoles herself by exploring the Ballymacool grounds, looking for hidden treasures to add to the secret trove beneath the floorboards of her room.

When Michael Wray, the son of local gentry, is sent to Ballymacool to deal with his unruly cousin, he finds himself drawn to Brianna, immediately and inescapably. There is something about her that feels so . . . familiar.

When Brianna unearths an intriguing silver platter in the woods, she commits to learning its origins. Could the handsome newcomer hold the key? If so, their discovery could change everything.

"Deibel's update on the 'Cinderella' story features sympathetic, three—dimensional characters that readers will find easy to root for."—Publishers Weekly

"Deibel once again inventively draws on Ireland's fascinating history as inspiration for a compassionate and compelling sweet romance with a Celtic Cinderella—like flavor."—
Booklist

"With rich language and historical detail, Deibel brilliantly emphasizes the story's central themes of love, faith, and redemption."—
