Bliss Sherman
doesn’t believe in curses—that is until she arrives at Cape Destiny , North Carolina Atlantic Ocean .
Bliss, who has
struggled with dyslexia, discrimination, and betrayal by her ex-husband and
former business partner, Jonathan, faces her greatest challenge when she falls
in love with the handsome, mysterious descendant of the lighthouse keepers,
Parker Swain, who is vehemently opposed to the lighthouse’s move.
When someone
targets Bliss, she begins to wonder if the curse that is rumored to be attached
to the lighthouse may be true. Who is
sabotaging her dream? Who is trying to
harm her? Who wants to kill her? When all clues point to Parker, she dismisses
her suspicions, deciding to trust him and her heart. But as the evidence mounts against Parker,
she begins to doubt not only herself and her heart, but also Parker.
Can she trust
her judgment? Can she trust Parker? Most importantly, when she is trapped inside
the lighthouse with him during a raging hurricane, can she trust Parker with
her life?
A romantic
suspense with all the seaside moody romance of du Maurier’s Rebecca and the
spine-tingling thrills that keep you turning the pages, Cape Cursed Cape Cursed
Teaser Excerpt:
“Hello,
June. How are you today?” Bliss said as
she walked up to the counter. “As you
can see, I need something for this sunburn, and I came to pick up a
prescription.
June
shoved a carton of Marlboros into a vacant space and turned to Bliss. “Well, if it isn’t the celebrity
herself. Fancy a star like you gracing
the Beach Mart.”
Bliss
chuckled. “I like keeping in touch with
the little people.”
June
leaned over the counter and exclaimed.
“Did you know you were all over the news last night? Why, my sister-in-law out in Phoenix
Bliss
smiled, “Oh, I’m quite the media darling these days.”
June
smiled knowingly. “I hear tell it you’re
not only their darling but somebody else’s as well.”
Bliss
stared at her. “What are you talking
about?”
She
looked up into the air. “Oh, a little
birdie told me that somebody didn’t come home last night. Spent the night at the Keeper’s House with
one Parker Swain.”
“How
do you know that?” Bliss asked, astonished that not only was she the center of
attention around here, but she was being spied on.
“Oh,
some sissified fellow, with a split lip, came in here looking for some bandages
and an ice pack. Told me he got into a
scrape this mornin’ with Parker Swain over a woman. Josh Mooney, my cousin, is the night desk
clerk at the Destiny Cove, and he said there was a frantic woman who called all
night trying to get in touch with you.
She looked at Bliss with the satisfaction of Miss Marple after solving a
case. “Now, I wonder where you were last
night?”
Bliss
blushed, making her sunburn more vivid.
“Nothing happened. It was
completely innocent. I passed out from
the heat, and Parker found me. He gave
me water and dinner. I fell asleep on
his porch swing.”
