(Independently published, Oct. 20, 2017)
When the Dutch renew their on-again off-again alliance with Spain, a powerful merchant clan marries their daughter to Count Melagoza as a sign of good faith. She is renamed Lucinda and soon learns her elderly husband has no interest in consummating the marriage. Instead of affection, he gives her an enchanted necklace that opens new opportunities for love. Can Lucinda control her passions – or will the “chastity chain” of the Moors destroy her?
