    About this ebook

    He'd risk a broken nose for love...

     

    Luke Reiser has every intention of marrying Malia Kane.  A difficult feat when she refuses to even acknowledge his attraction for her.  But his luck changes when her grandmother calls wanting a cursed doll left in the attic of his new home. 

     

    Malia is on the brink of bankruptcy. Her one shot in recovering her financial difficulties lies in her one-woman art show less than a week away. The last thing she needs is to bow to Luke's demand to meet at his office. But his threat is effective. And smack dab in the middle of his desk is the horrid ancient doll bequeathed to her upon her mother's death.

     

    Does its mysterious power bring the two together…or will Luke end up a destroyed man like those before him?
