The Hellfire Heritage

Black Pearl #6

by Willo Davis Roberts

Damning Desire.

Beautiful young Sabrina Peltier vowed to wear the fabulous black pearl necklace only in mourning, after the shocking death of the man whom she adored. Yet the wounds of loss were barely healed when Sabrina found herself trembling in the burning gaze of strikingly handsome, strangely secretive Edward Cass.

Sabrina first met Edward on a terror-ridden trip to a seaside mansion where ravenous evil feasted on all that was innocent. She came to fear Edward as she learned of the lies that he told and the designs that he hid. But despite all danger, she could not bring herself to break away from this man of so much mystery and menace, even as she felt the hands of unspeakable horror claiming her body and soul for better or for worse. . .
