My kingdom for a title . . .
The editorial team is still trying to figure out a title for my second book. Here’s the basic blurb:
After saving the life of former lover Connor MacEgan, healer Aileen Ó Duinne isn’t about to lose her heart to the handsome Irish warrior again. But within her secluded walls, a deeper healing takes place, and not just to Connor’s wounded hands.
Connor MacEgan once dreamed of becoming a chieftain and protecting his people. Now he centers his life upon vengeance against the enemies who destroyed his ability to wield a sword. But as his wounds begin to heal, he’s torn between destroying his enemy and building a life with a woman from his past . . . a woman who bore him a child he knew nothing about.
The working title is Her Irish Lover which ties into the whole Irish Warrior theme. But the editors don’t feel it conjures enough of the healing story.
So, I’m recruiting help. If you have any suggestions for titles, shoot them my way! Or even words or word combinations that help pull together the theme. To sweeten the deal, I’m offering a signed copy of Her Irish Warrior to a random commenter who posts some ideas.
Thank you!!

I am not that great at titles but how about this:
His Irish Healer
Irish Healing
Healing Vengance
Love’s Vengance
Good luck! And congrats on the additional book contract!
Stacy Dawn Says:
Healing His Irish Heart
Her Wounded Irish Heart
Her Irish Patient
Her Irish Ward
You’ll find a great one, I’m sure!
Michelle Says:
Thanks Courtney and Stacy!
Stacy, LOL on Her Irish Patient.
Too funny.
Missie Says:
I’m guessing The Irish Whiner wouldn’t work, would it? (you know, guys..sickness..whining…it’s all intertwined.):hissyfit:
I like Stacy’s Healing His Irish Heart, kind of went along with what I was thinking.
How ’bout:
Healing the Warrior
Love’s Healing
Her Wounded Warrior
Or, Missie Sucks At Titles?
If you use the last one, I totally expect some royalties.:woot:
Amy Says:
I think the word Wounded would work well (how many W’s was that?) I don’t know what to put around it…am brain dead.
LOVE the blurb, Michelle!
Sue Child Says:

Kelly Says:
I suck at titles. Badly. I’d probably whip off something like That Sick Irish Guy. But I love the pix of Viggo you posted!
Sue Child Says:
The Warrior’s Healing
The Warrior’s Healing Hands
Saving the Warrior’s Vengeful Heart (bit wordy)
This is addictive, and yes, I’m procrastinating when I should be editing and writing a synopsis…

Melissa Mc Says:
That’s a tough one if they want a feeling of healing in there Michelle. It could get wordy fast. I’m coming up blank
A Warrior’s Heart
The Irish Warrior’s Secret Baby
Michelle Says:
Melissa Mc–Ack! Not that!
Sue-thank you! Now go write that synopsis.
Kelly–:mrgreen:
My favorite “inappropriate” title is Sexual Healing. Somehow I don’t think they’d go for that.
Melissa Says:
I don’t do too well at titles…but looks like you’ve got some great suggestions!
Bonnie Ferguson Says:
Healing Her Irish Lover
Tori Lennox Says:
The Irish Warrior’s Secret Baby
No, no! The WOUNDED Irish Warrior’s Secret Baby. Of course, there wouldn’t be any room left over for Michelle’s name, but….
