Stone: Maria Zannini
Luísa Tavares has a list of sins the length of the Antilles, but there's no time to repent for them now. When a pockmarked Frenchman hands her Papa's ring - still attached to his severed finger - she orders the Coral back to the Caribbean, despite her father's earlier warning never to return. It's Luísa's luckless fate that the only man who can help her is a blasted Inglés pirate hunter who's more dead than alive and locked in a curse he doesn't want lifted. Worse, his feral sensuality sparks a hunger she can't ignore. Xander Daltry hadn't planned on kidnapping this wild woman - or succumbing to his uncontrollable desire for her. But he needs Luísa and the moonstone she wears around her neck to rescind a witch's spell. His sister, long dead, and others like her have been cursed to remain in the mortal plane for eternity. Only the stone can set them free. ORDER # R713-81 $20-80 ISBN 9781619212756
