MIDLAND, Texas, Sept. 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Author Donna M. Daniel interlaces endearing characters, breathtaking action-adventure, and an outburst of unrelenting passion with her latest installment, Logan's Gem.
An unconventional beauty, Emerald decides to go on a yearlong trip to Galveston, Texas to visit her cousins. Upon landing, Emerald finds herself mesmerized by the hot, longing gaze of Captain Logan Barrymoore, the dashing dream of every eligible woman in Galveston. Emerald remains within the boundary of her uncle's estate, fearful of meeting "the stranger" again. Fate would have it though, that her uncle and aunt are called away to Europe, and it is then that Emerald begins the germination of an idea that would take her far away.
With the help of her cousins, arrangements are made for her to "escape the stranger" and sail with Captain Barrymoore to California and to stay at his home in LaCara. Unbeknownst to Emerald, the stranger and Captain Barrymoore are one in the same. Upon arriving in Colombia, he is informed that his father is deathly ill and not expected to live. It is at that moment that Logan looks at Emerald as someone serving a purpose rather than a conquest who can quench his scorching fires. As the story progresses, readers find themselves consumed into the fiery romance, maddening desire, erratic twists, and heart stopping exploits of the rich characters.
Readers will travel with Emerald and Logan to Galveston, Havana, Colombia, and California, where a mansion full of splendor and charm becomes the backdrop of their adventure. "Man meets woman" is not new, neither is true love, but the much-loved characters of Logan's Gem mature and develop more deeply with every page. Readers are in for a searing, memorable read.
