Описание: Born in the late 1700s, Admonition's mother has already made her believe her name carries a curse. When her home - along with most of her family - is swallowed by a sink hole, she is taken in by neighbours who provide her with a loving home. She is only 13 when things start to change. By the time she reaches 15, the curse is confirmed, when she is forced to leave by the sexual advances of the man who had initially taken her - a confirmation that is repeated many times in her life. Finding a home with Jabez, the landlord of The Boar's Head, she becomes embroiled in salt smuggling that leads ultimately to transportation and a new life in Australia where she finally finds true love and freedom. As Admonition says at the end of her story, 'Now, I wish there was a way I could tell her what's taken me a lifetime, not to mention a journey to the other side of the world, to learn: we can be unlucky, unfortunate, even oppressed by our circumstances or by those around us, but we are never affected by curses and certainly not by our name - unless of course we choose to believe it.'

Описание:

Caspian is at the top of the food chain -- literally, in his world. Women want him, and he plays the field, but he has never known love, having been abandoned by his parents as a child. He's always believed he was never wanted until he finds out the disturbing truth.

He's arrogant and cocky -- it's his coping mechanism. He's the youngest Michelin Star chef in the world, with one of the top restaurants in New York City --the proverbial celebrity chef, never wanting to settle because his love is his restaurant, Casper's. That is until Macen walks into his life.

Macen is a quiet and shy person. Having gone through the worse trauma you could go through at a young age, she fought back to get her scholarship from the world-famous New York Culinary School. She passed top of her year, and her lifelong dream was to become a top chef. The chance finally arrives with a perfect opportunity at Casper's. Who would have thought this could cause her life to take a turn for the worse?

Fighting her desire for Caspian and determined to fight for the career she deserves, can Macen overcome even more obstacles that life seems determined to throw her way?
