Book Description:
Dark secrets and unquenchable desire
collide in this captivating paranormal thriller…
Connie Lacey lives a nomadic existence.
Alone. Safe. She can't risk being found by the stalker who haunts her waking
nightmares. Until an invitation from billionaire Sylvester de León—to spend
thirty days with him on his private island, Corazón—proves impossibly tempting.
But one look at the gorgeous host's deep blue eyes, and Connie knows there is
nothing safe about this paradise and the aristocratic man who calls it home.
The island is cursed…as is Sylvester
himself. Yet something in him calls to Connie, ignites a desire that's filled
with raw, timeless need. But Corazón has many secrets, each more dangerous than
the last. And in a place where everlasting love, the past and fate intersect,
even death is only a beginning…
Available for Pre-Order
It is easy enough to
list in advance, and with absolute certainty, those things for which we are
prepared to die. Family, country, religion, the one we love, a valued way of
life. Until we are faced with a situation that puts our convictions to the
test, we can never know for sure which of these will hold true. There were many
lessons to be learned during those strange weeks on the island of Corazón, but,
for Connie Lacey, this would prove be the most important.
Four years of running
and hiding. Four years of looking over her shoulder. Of viewing every man she
met with suspicion. Of waking every morning, wondering if today was the day he
would finally catch up with her.
The relief of being
offered somewhere to hide was so huge it drove every other thought out of her
head. She had a brief mental image of herself as a disaster survivor and the
man opposite as the rescue worker who had just draped an emergency blanket
around her shoulders. She resisted the temptation to cling to him, garbling out
incoherent thanks until he was forced to gently pry her hands away. They were
the wild thoughts spinning through Connie Lacey’s mind as she listened to the
clipped tones of the attorney.
With hindsight, she
probably should have paid more attention to the strangeness of the offer he was
making and the diffident manner with which he made it. Gratitude will do that
to you, she decided later. At the time her attention was taken up with grabbing
this opportunity. Nod, smile, and sign on the dotted line. Don’t ask questions
that might make him withdraw this incredible invitation. All she could focus on
was the fact that—for thirty days, at least—she would not have to sleep with a
knife under her pillow.
“You have one week.” She
realized Mr. Reynolds had finished outlining the details of the proposal. “My
client will expect you to be in Florida in exactly seven days’ time.”
Connie swallowed hard.
She might have known there would be a catch. The logistics of getting to
Florida posed a massive problem. Mentally, she reviewed the contents of her
wallet. She knew exactly how much cash was in there. It wouldn’t get her across
town let alone across the country. Before she could speak, Mr. Reynolds reached
into the desk drawer and produced a hefty roll of banknotes. His expression
softened slightly as he passed them across the desk.
“Expenses. For the
journey and such sundry other items as may be necessary.” He cleared his throat
with a hint of something that might have been embarrassment. “My client is a
very exacting man. His guests will, for example, be required to dress for
dinner during their stay on Corazón.”
Darn! And there I was
thinking I had successfully managed to hide the fact that the sole is hanging
off one of my sneakers and this sweater has forgotten what color it used to be.
Connie stuffed the wad
of cash into her shoulder bag with a muttered word of thanks. If an encounter
with Sylvester’s attorney could reduce her to the status of a gibbering wreck,
how on earth was she going to cope with the man himself?
As she got to her feet,
Mr. Reynolds rose and came around the desk. He held out his hand. Surprised,
Connie took it. Instead of the handshake she had expected, he clasped her hand
between both of his. It was an oddly tactile gesture for such an aloof man.
“However this venture
may turn out…” He paused and Connie sensed he was fighting an internal battle.
As if the personal and professional were at war within him. The result felt
like his version of a truce. “I wish you well, Miss Lacey.”
