Title: The blood carnelian
Description: Red was the color of Donica Vyne's hair, the color of the jewel her princely admirer wore, and the color of the blood spilled in the pursuit of violence.

When Donica's father died she expected to become responsible for her younger brother and sister. She did not expect to lose them to the dubious guardianship of her father's dissolute brother-in-law. Nor did she expect to lose their beloved Denleigh Manor -- particularly to such an unlikely buyer as an Arabian prince.

Yet, when the oil-rich Prince Hannan streaks into Devon with his entourage, his Rolls-Royces and his family crest emblazoned on a red carnelian ring, Donica is as dazzled by his attentions as he is by her "astounding hair." But suddenly treachery, abduction, and murder invade the peaceful halls of Denleigh. Donica must now follow a trail of blood from Devon to Geneva to Paris in daring pursuit of unknown kidnappers and assassins. The harrowing events would force her to see evil in men's eyes for the first time and open her own eyes to the wonder of love in unexpected places.
