Overview
While visiting London, a beautiful young woman becomes homesick for the West Indies. Unfortunately, her only available chaperone for the perilous journey is her rakish, hot-tempered cousin, the sixth Earl of Saint-Leven. Her destiny becomes one with his as they brave the war-torn seas on a voyage that would take them from regal London to the tropical shores of the Calypso Island. And as the fires of battle engulf the world around them, their desire for one another starts to burn.The second book in Catherine Coulter's Magic series is a fiery romance that is as superb as Midsummer Magic. Moving from Regency England to the exotic West Indies, Calypso Magic is the story of a hot-tempered earl and his witty, very desirable, island-born cousin--and the undying love and relentless passion that binds them together through jealousy, mystery, murder and intrigue. Original.
Synopsis
Nineteen-year-old Diana Savarol is nowhere near the traditional ingenue entering her first Season. In fact, as distant cousin Lord Lyonel Ashton soon discovers, she has a mind -- and a tongue -- as distinctly foreign as her tanned face. And the conventions of polite London society seem wholly unable to restrain her wilful disposition, outspoken nature and general disdain for the array of marriageable prospects she is exposed to.
In many ways, it is a blessing that Diana soon convinces her aunt Lucia, Lady Cranston, to allow her to return to her beloved West Indies. However, she is not to risk such a dangerous voyage alone, and Lyonel is forced to escort her as chaperone and protector -- a role he increasingly comes to dislike as Diana's true environment embraces them both in its heady, sensual perfume.
