Gemini Andrews has loved Captain Deverell Jansen for a very long time and longs to someday be his wife. Gemini is also gifted with the supernatural ability of "seeing" specters (ghostly spirits), who are hovering over Deverell. Pierre and Davey are two such entertaining spirits supposedly killed by Deverell.

Gemini devises a plan to sneak aboard Deverell's ship that's bound for the Druid stones on Killdaren land. The same land where serial killer Jack Poole, aka Jack the Ripper, murders his female victims. Through the eyes of the murdered women, Gemini hopes to identify Jack. When Gemini is discovered onboard, the crew learns she's there because she talks to ghosts. To convince the crew that she's not a witch and her statement was all part of a ruse to upset him, Deverell forces her to marry him.

As Gemini tries to help clear Deverell of murder, as well as an effort to put the screaming, suffering souls of the ghosts to rest, Gemini risks being taken over bodily by Jack Poole after he's killed. Ghosts Davey and Pierre are instrumental in coming to Gemini's aid. Exciting episodes with Gemini's ghosts, as well as many hot erotic moments between Gemini and Deverell, make this book a fascinating read.

SUMMARY

A ghost whisperer. A devilish captain. A killer thirsting to destroy their passion…

Killdaren, Book 3

On the day of her sister’s wedding ship, Gemini Andrews’s spirit heard the siren call of the sea. Over the past year it has become a friend that whispers to her heart, promising a full, blessed future.

That future is threatened by a string of gruesome murders that are too similar to those of a killer who vowed to destroy her sisters to be coincidence. She knows her psychic gifts can stop this evil, but her sisters think her too delicate. The enigmatic Captain Deverell Jenson, who stole her heart with one Christmas kiss, thinks her too young—for anything.

Determined to prove them all wrong, Gemini steals aboard Deverell’s Northrope-bound Black Dragon. Never realizing she is about to sail into a storm of passion as deep as the ocean…and a battle that will threaten not only their lives, but their eternal souls.

Only Deverell, a man too haunted by his past to believe in a future, has any hope of discovering the truth before the evil destroys them both.

Warning: Contains a devilish captain, scorching nights, and an evil that will chill you to the bone.
