Romance Suspense | Novella / Short Story


Luke Reiser has every intention of marrying Malia Kane, a difficult feat when she refuses to acknowledge his interest. When Malia's grandmother asks for a doll left in his attic, Luke believes his luck has changed. He summons Malia to his office, but he doesn't expect her reaction.

Malia doesn't have time to do artwork for Luke's company. She's preparing for an art show to ease financial difficulties looming like a snuffer ready to extinguish a candle flame. But what she finds at Luke's office is worse than bankruptcy—it's that horrid doll bequeathed to her at her mother's death. Malia has found out the hard way the curse breaks any would–be lover's nose, and worse. Not wanting to risk injury to Luke, she takes the doll and runs.

Can an ancient doll bring the two together...or will Luke end up next in a long line of victims...with a broken nose as well as a broken heart?
