Zeke Malone is a Mississippi crook who has plenty of money and power. He was raised to believe that Cordella, the woman who seduced and married his great grandfather years ago, put a curse on his family. In his mind, the only way to break that curse is to mix his blood with that of her bloodline. Zeke manipulates Cordella's great grandson, Buford Starling, into handing over his beautiful 15-year-old daughter, Hazel Starling. After Hazel is drugged and wedded to Zeke, she escapes to California, where she thinks she will be safe. Unbeknownst to her, Zeke watches her every move for years, as she is busily raising their daughter, the lovely Chloe Rose. But it turns out that Zeke Malone is not the only Malone who is interested in the Starling family. Chris Malone, Zeke's great nephew, grew up seeing photos of Chloe Rose, and he has his own obsession to deal with. Author Vicky Renee Johnson gets her greatest inspiration from her Irish heritage. Johnson enjoys working as a nurse who specializes in care for the elderly. She grew up in Amory, Mississippi, and that is where she continues to work and write.
