Cursed by Love

Does ownership of an ancient Chinese carving carry a curse? In this Golden Heartâ„¢ winning book, Superstitious third-grade teacher Molly Webber's opinion differs from that of motorcycle enthusiast and pragmatic businessman Gabe Shaw. A history of misfortune in both their families confirms the theory of a curse for Molly, but Gabe believes people make their own luck. Molly thinks the lovespell of the Sleeping Lotus will bring her parents back from the brink of divorce, but ever-practical Gabe needs the money from the sale of the carving to save his family's struggling business. Attempting to separate the facts from the myths about the jade carving, passion overwhelms the mismatched couple. Molly and Gabe begin to wonder if the piece of erotica is responsible for the magic that's happening between them. While wrestling with unseen forces and evading the pursuit of unscrupulous collectors, they must each reach a decision about the carving's ultimate fate and their own destinies.
