Headstrong Bridget Goodwell is
determined that nothing will prevent her coming wedding to
eminently respectable Peter Holton. All her life she has
longed for stability, decorum - anything to deny the
otherworldly secret she's hidden for so long from the
suspicious townspeople of Salem, Massachusetts. But three
weeks before the ceremony, Benjamin Hawkes drops anchor in
Salem's harbor, threatening everything she has planned.
Reckless, incredibly alluring Benjamin - Bridget's first
love - is the only person who ever suspected that beneath
her proper fascade lay a dangerous gift. Unable to deny the
feelings he awakens in her, Bridget is horrified to
discover that her love for him will lead her to an ancient
curse, a legacy of witchcraft, and Benjamin's certain
death - unless the passion that blazes between them breaks
a powerful spell.
