Romance Paranormal

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.

SUMMARY

When you ride with the devil, the shadow of death isn’t the only danger… 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 Cassie’s marriage brings her out among people again. The renewed contact is excruciating…and so are her wildly improper thoughts about her brother-in-law’s emerald-eyed twin, Lord Alexander Killdaren, Viscount Blackmoor. Andrie has resolved to live as a hermit, but not before she sees to Cassie’s 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 Alex’s 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 dragon’s 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 sisters…and her sanity. Warning: Contains a dark hero with eclectic tastes, toe- curling sensuality and a spine-chilling murder mystery.
