Blurb:
Before ascending the throne of the Blackburn Empire in Kentucky horse country, they were
just 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 Blackburnโs 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
Tommyโs wild ways followed him across the pond and he couldnโt 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
canโt get to the present without The Past.
The Past: A Blackburn Novel is opposites attract, long distance love story within the Bluegrass Empires series. All books in the series can be enjoyed as standalones.

OMG y’all this book was soooo GOOD it is better than GOOD! Tommy and Fiona’s story was everything and more!!!! The Past is book #4 in the Bluegrass Empire series and this is Tommy and Fiona Conlan Blackburn, the parents’ story.
Narrated by Sean Masters and Kit Swann. Both narrators did phenomenal jobs. I loved listening to them speak and Kit did an amazing job with Fionaโs Irish accent. Not that we havenโt heard it before since Fiona has been in all the books. It probably just stood out more since this was Fionaโs story and Sean had Tommyโs personality down! They can read to me any time!
I love, love, love Tommy and Fionaโs story. This has been a fantastic series! Sawyer Bennett really knows how to snag in her readers! I love her books!
