Ireland, Summer of 1579

Norma le Blanc is content with the religious duties that fill her life, until the day Spanish ships drop anchor in Dingle Bay, and their gorgeous captain, Vicente de Vivar, tries to charm her from her straight-laced ways. As he seeks her attention in moonlit gardens and at candlelit dinners, Norma finds herself magnetized in a way she has never felt before.

Across the channel in England, Elizabeth I is furious that smugglers frequent her stronghold in Dingle without paying her taxes. What’s more, she’s cautious of foreigners in Ireland, now that she and Ireland are at war. When she sends a Mr. Flood to investigate, Vicente and his crew seem doomed for prison.

What Elizabeth doesn’t know is that Vicente came for more than selling illicit goods. His cargo is full of chests of Spanish gold, brought for the express purpose of funding the war between England and Ireland. Vicente does all he can to pull the wool over Mr. Flood’s eyes, but when Elizabeth has Flood arrested for failure to perform his duty, his testimony will be all that’s needed to send the Spaniards to jail.

Norma’s love for Vicente flames even more, as she is unable to ignore the resilience of a man who stands by his convictions, no matter the cost. Knowing he must leave, she is torn over losing the bravest man she has ever known.

But just as Vicente is about to set sail, Dingle is set on fire by Elizabeth’s enemies. Vicente rescues Norma, and together, they lead the villagers to safety in the mountains.

It is then that he is forced to confront the feelings which may cause him to drop anchor for the first time in his life.

Based on Dingle’s infamous history, THE SMUGGLER'S VISIT reveals the beauty of being able to love, even when one is vastly different from ourselves.
