Compelled to visit the island of Columbe by a strange missive from her father, Christine Greggory found herself in a different world.

Vodoun drums were everywhere, beating out a blood-pulsing rhythm that blurred all rational thought. Arcane rituals, practiced openly, both fascinated and repelled her. But when she discovered that her father was missing, the exotic paradise she'd entered turned sinister...

Desperately she turned to Reid St. Pierre, her father's business partner and the only man who could help her. But Reid seemed deeply enmeshed in the native customs at the core of her father's disappearance. Worse yet, the burning passion in his gaze that called to Christine's deepest fears...and long-hidden desires.

Trusting Reid would be dangerous ...to her heart, as well as her life.
