Originally written under the pseudonym Deborah Martin, this unforgettable tale of mystery, treasure, and passion is back in print at last and newly revised for today's audience--and available as an ebook! Welsh widow Catrin Price is haunted by a family death curse. Any man whom she marries without first drinking from an ancient Druid chalice sold by her ancestor long ago is unquestionably doomed. But when she hunts it down to purchase it, the chalice's former owner ends up dead. Who will believe her innocent with the man's treasure in her hands? Now she lives in fear of discovery, afraid to trust, afraid to give away her heart... Even Newcome, a scholar struggling to overcome a difficult past, travels to Wales to find the mysterious woman last seen with his murdered friend. So when the lady proves to be a beautiful yet shy creature who shares his love of Welsh mythology, he's torn between believing her guilty and trusting the passion blazing between them. But as unscrupulous men seek the chalice for their own devious purposes, will Catrin and Evan let their wall of mistrust stand between them? Or will they defeat their enemies together and embrace the love intended for them since time immemorial?… (más)

What happens when a druid “princess” needs a special chalice to break a curse or anyone she marries will dies within 3 years? That is Catrin Price’s problem. She’s already been married once and her husband didn’t live long enough to make it to the Marriage Breakfast. Four generations of women in her family have lost their husband’s due to the curse. The chalice had been in the family until a male ancestor had sold it – bringing on the curse.
When Catrin travels to London to buy the chalice she becomes embroiled in a murder mystery. After completing her purchase, the Lord she bought it from is found dead. His friend, Evan Newcombe has now come to Wales to investigate the murder.
Using his position as a Cambridge professor who is a known scholar on Welsh history and tradition, he gets acquainted with Catrin and they begin to have feelings for each other. The problem is they are each hiding behind their secrets. Will their relationship be able to withstand the unveiling of their secrets? Are they strong enough to trust their hearts to another? And if Catrin didn’t kill Evan’s friend then who did and are they now in danger themselves?
Sabrina Jefferies does a wonderful job of combining romance, secrets, and danger to reach the Happily Ever After that they both deserve. My one complaint about this book is the many Welsh names and places that make reading hard going at times. Given the fact that the story takes place in Wales, it cannot be helped but it does make reading harder when you have no idea how to pronounce things.
First published under the author’s name Deborah Martin, Sabrina Jefferies is releasing these books under her own name. I received an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.

A special chalice is needed for Catrin Price to have a happy, long married life with her chosen husband, with out it her husband will die with in 3 years thanks to a curse that the chalice holds over the bribe. Catrin has unfortunately lost 1 husband already, and they didn't even get a chance to consummate the marriage. This chalice means every thing to Catrin.
Even Newcombe is a Cambridge Professor. He visits Mrs Price as he knows a friend of his had a chalice and made plans to meet her and was murdered, he has his suspicions about her.
This was a great who-dun-it. We're kept wondering what's coming up next and who the murderer was for most of the story, I had no clue who the culprit was until it was revealed. Loved the romance too of cause, Ms. Jeffries always writes the best love matches between her characters. I loved it! ( )
