Dark Sapphire

A beautiful story, portrayed perfectly by Lisa Jackson...includes action, drama, romance (duh.) and intense mental situations...then don't forget spicy comedy on a ship...heeheehee...You may just find yourself saying "nay" more than you ever have....

Eleven years ago Sheena saved Keegan's life, a fact that he cannot presently remember. Now, she is being sought for the murder of her husband on her wedding night and stowsaway on Keegan's ship, Dark Sapphire. She is discovered several days later and although Keegan thinks he has seen her before, he does not really remember her, although she remembers Keegan.Sheena is frightened and eventually jumps ship and swims to shore, almost drowing in the process. A farmer finds her and takes her to his home; however, he also found the jewels hidden in her boots and takes one of them. Sheena is trying to reach her father, Jestin, so she can explain what occurred on her wedding night, but Fawn, Jestin's wife and Sheena's stepmother, has her knight, Morgan, searching for Sheena. Fawn is not a nice person. She has borne Jestin three daughters and is again pregnant, swearing she carries a son who will inherit Jestin's fortune.Sheena and Keegan meet again and spend some time together; however, they are captured by Morgan and she is brought before her father and Keegan's crew are guarded on ship. The Dark Sapphire which was initially taken by Keegan some eleven years before and which he has forgotten, reappears.All is not what it seems between Fawn, Jestin and Morgan. Fawn has her long awaited son, but all is not well.This story moves pretty fast, but I can't see giving it five stars.
