Sweet and Bitter Fancy — Barbara Bonham
WAS SHE A STRANGER IN PARADISE OR A HOSTAGE IN HELL?
When Jennifer Hastings found a job at the isolated hotel on the California coast called The Golden Hind, it seemed too good to be true. The inn was beautiful, the job fascinating, the people intriguing. And most important, her devastatingly handsome boss, Paul Bruchard, showed more and more interest in her.
But even as Jennifer fell helplessly in love with this iron-willed, sometimes charming, sometimes strangely brooding man, she began to feel the hidden horror below the surface of the lovely but lonely place. At first she shrugged off the stories of an ancient curse, but she could not laugh away the hand of death that struck at her again and again. Nor could she let Paul Bruchard kiss away her growing doubts, not when the warmth of passion turned to icy fear of this man who claimed her heart....
