Blurb
Neither
Tiara Blake or Delmar Devereaux has a past to be proud of. With a
joint history packed with dishonesty, blackmail—and a juicy, torrid
love affair—the pair didn’t expect their paths would cross again.
Can
a quest to break an ancient curse give two former lovers a second
chance?
After
a torrid love affair, shady businessman Delmar Devereaux disappeared
from Tiara Blake’s life, leaving her to raise their twin sons on
her own. So, when he shows up unannounced one day, her first instinct
is to kick him to the curb.
But
Delmar has discovered a centuries-old curse placed on the pair by
their ancestors—and he needs Tiara’s help to break it. Ending the
curse means they will have to learn to trust each other, which won’t
be easy when their explosive secrets are revealed.
Once
again torn between lust and duty, can Delmar and Tiara discover the
true meaning of love in order to break the curse before it’s too
late? Or will their complicated past doom them forever?

Delmar and Tiara in Book II of the Mistress of Desire and the
Orchid Lover on their sensually sizzling action-packed adventure!
Excerpt
Delmar’s
voice was sad and serious. “I come to ask the three of you for your
help. I have nowhere else to turn. The courts won’t help me. The
legal system is useless,” his words tumbled out. “You see, for it
was I, who started my problem in the first place, and well the courts
won’t even hear my case,” he sighed heavily.
Glenda
sighed. “This sounds serious if you can’t use your money to
persuade the courts.”
“It
is serious,” Delmar assured them. “Let me go back to the
beginning. Perhaps you were aware of my case in court almost a year
ago, concerning the twin sons, that Tiara Blake, had?”
“Yes,
of course, it was all over the news,” Consuelo stated, in an
excited Spanish accent.
“Yeah,
I heard all about it too,” Nona said glumly. “The DNA found you
were not the father and those tests are normally 100% accurate.”
“Yes,
they are supposed to be. But there are ways around them,” Delmar
paused. “You see a root worker, a spell caster. She assured me,
that she could cast a spell that would exclude me as the father of
the twins.”
Glenda
interrupted. “Yes, but everyone knows that DNA is 100 percent
foolproof and it doesn't lie. No spellcaster or root worker can mess
with biological DNA.”
“Glenda
is right,” Nona stated. “DNA tests are considered infallible –
they are the gold standard in court.”
