Colors

Gypsies bestowed the curse. A sadistic man unleashed its power. Gioia Vita, at thirty-four, is not living the joyous life her cultural name might suggest.

The desire for adventure in her sheltered life prevails when an acquaintance invites her back into the subculture of her rebellious youth.

She unexpectedly finds the warm colors of family, friends and a new love. Braden Davies restores passion in her heart, but can an outlaw from a chaotic underground culture heal her wounds? First, they must conquer the manipulative adversary that haunts them, unearth long buried family secrets, and learn that sometimes a curse can really be a gift.
