Produktbeschreibung
In the heart of York's medieval streets stands The Anchor, a storied pub where history lingers in the stone walls and secrets are poured alongside pints. Clara Montgomery, a thirty-something workaholic and fiercely independent pub landlord, runs the bar with her lifelong friends Janet and Jess. Together, they've built a haven for locals like Martin, a retired professor with a poetic soul, and Sarah, a sassy self-employed dynamo who treats the pub as her second office. But Clara's carefully curated world is upended when Sean Gallagher, a handsome, retired military officer with a quiet intensity, rents the flat above the pub. Their chemistry is undeniable, but it's their shared fascination with an old pub tradition, The Rose and the Birch, that truly binds them. Once used to cheekily discipline unruly patrons, the ritual of public birching is revived, drawing curious crowds and kindred spirits from around the globe. As Clara and Sean navigate the delicate balance between love, legacy, and discipline, The Anchor becomes more than a pub, it becomes a stage for passion, transformation, and the kind of romance that dares to challenge convention. Written with wit, warmth, and a touch of kink by Maeve Campbell, a Bronx-born Irish American with a flair for emotional realism and sensual storytelling, York Dreams and Desires is a celebration of love that's as bold as it is tender.
Autorenporträt
Maeve Campbell is an American author born to Irish immigrants and raised in the Bronx during the gritty, electric pulse of the 1980s. Her childhood was steeped in storytelling, from the lyrical tales her parents brought from County Clare to the streetwise narratives unfolding on every corner of her neighborhood. That blend of heritage and hustle shaped Maeve into a woman who sees the poetry in chaos and the romance in resilience. After a marriage unraveled under the weight of betrayal, Maeve turned inward, channeling her energy into her career as a personal assistant to a high-powered CBS executive. Behind the scenes of network television, she mastered the art of discretion, diplomacy, and knowing exactly when to speak and when to listen , skills that would later serve her well as a writer. A proud graduate of Fordham University, Maeve now lives on Roosevelt Island in a sunlit apartment overlooking Manhattan, where she shares her space with two cats, a dog named Finnegan, and the occasional friend who knows not to overstay. Her social life is vibrant, peppered with wine-soaked dinners, rooftop conversations, and the kind of friendships that survive both silence and scandal. Maeve began writing in the wake of 9/11, when grief cracked something open inside her. What started as a private act of healing became a public voice for love, loss, and longing. Her romance novels are unapologetically raw , exploring the messy, magnetic pull between people who are broken but brave enough to try again. Whether she's writing about forbidden desire, second chances, or the quiet ache of solitude, Maeve's stories pulse with emotional truth and a distinctly New York rhythm. She writes not just to entertain, but to remind readers that vulnerability is a strength - and that love, in all its forms, is worth the risk.
