SummaryHotshot hotel developer Alexa Chandler lusts after the
property she's found off the coast of St. Augustine,
Florida—a haunted island complete with an abandoned
castle she intends to convert into her premiere luxury
resort. Inside, the only furnishing—a captivating
portrait of a man—calls to her. With a single touch,
she unleashes a phantom who has been trapped within the
painting for over two hundred years.
Centuries ago, Damon Forsyth charged into a mysterious gypsy
enclave on a desperate mission, but found himself trapped
inside a cursed painting by his mortal enemy. Over time, he
has contemplated little but revenge and
retribution—until undeniable need draws Alexa to his
lair. Though she releases him from the painting, Damon
remains bound to the castle where the portrait hangs. Damon
needs Alexa to break the final barrier. Using the dark magic
that enslaves him, he initiates a game of
seduction—with his freedom as the ultimate prize.
Unable to resist Damon's fierce sexuality, Alexa surrenders
to his ghostly touch, but soon, she must choose between
thwarting the magic that holds Damon in thrall...or her own
mortality.
