SILKEN SHADOWS

Romance Paranormal | Romance Suspense | Romance Historical

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
youngβ€”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.
