The Andrew sisters descended upon the Cornish coast to uncover their cousin's murderer. Instead, Cassie fell in love and married Sean Killdarren, a man surrounded in controversy and scandal. Andromeda promises Cassie that she will help her disprove the Killdarren curse that shadows Sean and his twin brother, Alex. The curse prophecy says twin Killdarren brothers are fated to kill one another. Trying to forestall the prediction, the brothers isolate themselves from each other.
Andromeda takes a job with Alex cataloging the artifacts in his castle. Acting as a Trojan horse, Andromeda invades Alex's home looking for a solution to the curse within the castle. Blessed or cursed, Andromeda has the talent to read peoples' thoughts. She uses her "gift" hoping to find the answers.
Alex Killdarren, Viscount Blackmoor, lives a lonely isolated life. An accident eight years ago that left his brother permanently injured haunts him. He believes the curse nearly came true. Trying to keep his brother safe, Alex immerses himself in his horse breeding. His title will pass to Sean and his children. Alex will not fulfill the curse's legacy. His plan goes awry when Andromeda occupies his home and fills his thoughts with uncontrollable lust.
Haunted mansions, abandon ruins and a murder hover over the Killdarrens. The Andrew sisters will need every one of their special gifts to keep the men they love safe.
Ms. St. Giles writes a good Gothic romance, which has evil stalking amid the shadows ready to appear at any time and cause destruction in its wake. Interspersing curses and Druid tales keeps the tension high, while the sexy encounters between Andromeda and Alex heat up the pages.
When you ride with the devil, the shadow of death isnβt

Killdaren, Book 2
Years of shielding herself amid historical artifacts has
lulled
Andromeda into thinking her mind-reading ability is merely
a nuisance.
Until her sister Cassieβs marriage brings her out among
people again.
The renewed contact is excruciatingβ¦and so are her wildly
improper
thoughts about her brother-in-lawβs emerald-eyed twin, Lord
Alexander
Killdaren, Viscount Blackmoor.
Andrie has resolved to live as a hermit, but not before she
sees to
Cassieβs happiness by clearing the suspicion hanging over
the Killdaren
name. In her soul she knows the brothers are innocent of
murder. To
prove it, she must get inside Alexβs castle.
When she presents herself to begin cataloging his vast
collection of
artifacts, she realizes she is in over her head. His mind
is closed to
her gift, save for a single, breathlessly erotic image. His
heated touch
is like a dragonβs fire against her skin; his emerald gaze
strips her
soul bare.
Even as she loses her heart to his dark passion, she
uncovers secrets
that expose a brutal killer and threatens everything she
holds dear. Her
life, her sistersβ¦and her sanity.
Warning: Contains a dark hero with eclectic tastes, toe-
curling
sensuality and a spine-chilling murder mystery.
