Blurb:
Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they werejust Tommy and Fiona, two teenagers from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Young love
bloomed during an Irish summer set amidst the rolling green hills and lush pastures of
Tipperary County.
Fiona Conlan grew up sheltered by her overbearing parents and vibrating with the need for
something more. In the summer of 1978, she found exactly what she needed. Ready to test the
boundaries set for her, Fiona trained in the exhilarating and dangerous sport of
steeplechase, and in an even more rebellious move, started secretly dating a young and
brash American she knew her parents would never approve of.
Too much partying and not enough studying during his sophomore year of college had
Tommy Blackburn’s parents desperate to get the future heir of the family business to take life
a little more seriously. What better way to do that than to send him to Ireland to work at
Glenhaven, a massive thoroughbred and breeding operation run by a family friend. But
Tommy’s wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldn’t help but pursue the
beautiful redhead with fire in her eyes and a wild spirit just waiting to break free.
Tommy and Fiona fell hard and fast, a secret love built from stolen moments. Rife with drama
and disapproval, they overcame it all to set the stage for a new generation of Blackburns to
run their American Empire. Their epically romantic journey was anything but easy, but you
can’t get to the present without The Past.
The Past: A Blackburn Novel is an opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

Review:
4.5 stars
What a great addition to this series! Loved seeing how mom and dad met.
It had to start somewhere and why not in Ireland. Tommy and Fiona's story is a great love story standing on it's own. If you have read the Bluegrass series, it will be even more meaningful to you. Two strong characters with a ton of love between them.
I will be sad to leave the horse world behind. Thanks to the author for giving us just one more look at this great family.
