He knew he should not, but could not prevent himself from touching the compelling crystal. By doing so Piers Veuxfort lives everyday in hell on earth. His gentle rub released the essence of the evil Fin Man, previously trapped inside the crystal. Now the Fin Man resides inside of Piers.

Giselle St. Germain was to be a nun, but the abbess of Kerwick Abbey learned of her “sight” and condemned her as a satanic abomination; she was tossed out of the nunnery that she lived in for thirteen years after allegedly causing Sister Anne’s choking. Her exile is complete with the knowledge she suddenly is betrothed to a stranger. She arrives at Falcon’s Craig Castle to marry Piers. He fears for her as he is losing the control battle to the dark malevolence growing side him. She wonders how a man can be so devilish yet be so attractive. Hiding behind her pietistic upbringing by the nuns, Giselle thinks of fleeing but has no place to go; besides she soon feels God sent her here to help Piers exorcize his demon as love binds these two troubled souls.

The sequel to A LOST TOUCH OF BLISS is an entertaining medieval paranormal romance starring an interesting lead male with two intelligences battling to control his body and the innocent woman who completes the demonic triangle. Piers is a fascinating protagonist as he literally battles with an inner demon for control of his body and soul. Although Giselle adapts to life out of the abbey too easily, she risks her soul to help the man she loves win the war against the malevolent Fin Man. Sub-genre fans will enjoy Amy Tolnitch’s latest Veuxfort thriller in which hearts and souls are on the line.
