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?
Join Delmar and Tiara in Book II of the Mistress of Desire and the Orchid Lover on their sensually sizzling action-packed adventure!
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.”

ReplyDeleteHow did you come up for the characters names in the book? Congrats on the release. Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteHello James,
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking this question.
I came up with the character names pretty much from the places I visited. I was born in Arkansas and had the chance of traveling in the family car taking long drives visiting, many states like Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida to name a few. Often, we visit old historical homes, or museums etc., where I would write names that had interested me. And from that those names became my character names. Just to add a note, often I have used quirky unique things I’d read that some interesting person from history had done, as something one of my characters would do.
