NIKROVA'S PASSION

by Beth Henderson

Published 20 April 1990
Anne Larkin was in London to soak up atmosphere. The trouble was the wrong atmosphere could get a girl killed!

It was just a post-graduation trip to England to wallow in museums and see the sites. Or it was until Anne Larkin landed in the wrong place at the right time and was mistaken by one man to be a thief's cohort, and by the thief to be a police plant. And both men decided that romancing her was the way to keep his nemesis from the reportedly cursed and very valuable alexandrite stone known as Nikrova's Passion.

Set in 1989, NIKROVA'S PASSION is a fast-paced romp with danger, deception, romance and love. Originally published in 1990, the current edition has undergone a bit of tinkering by the author. Just stylistic changes. Fear not! Barely 5% of the tale shifted wording. No part of the original story sustained injury in the process.
