Carla Neggers has a magic touch for weaving spine-tingling suspense
with romance so sensual it takes your breath away. Here she is at her
best, in a delightful potpourri of dangerous intrigue, enchanting wit,
and spellbinding desire....
This time Piper Macintosh's great-aunt has really gone too far.
Eighty-seven-year-old Hannah, who fancies herself a witch, has sold her
historic Cape Cod house to a Tennessean whom she claims is the man for
her niece. Piper doesn't think they're a likely match--particularly not
after she meets the reclusive tycoon while trespassing in his garden.
Clate Jackson has come to the windswept Cape to forget, not to get
involved with the woman who's digging up valerian root for her
great-aunt's crazy potions. But when Hannah reveals an old family secret
and warns of danger on the horizon, Clate reluctantly works with Piper
to solve a long-ago murder. Unraveling the secrets of Clate's past,
however, will take what only Piper can supply: her healing love and her
own boldly passionate heart....
