The Gilded Curse
Author: Marilyn Turk

Responding to a cryptic telegram, Lexie Smithfield returns to Jekyll Island to sell her family's abandoned vacation home in the Millionaire's Club. For years she's secretly believed in the "Gilded Curse" -- that her destiny is determined not by her family's mistakes, but by the choices she makes. As she discovers the cottage's hidden secrets, ho... more »wever, she begins to wonder if the Gilded Curse is real.

Lexie's trip is prolonged when Nazi U-boats threaten the island's residents. While the management of the Millionaire's Club attempts to keep members unaware of the danger and confined to the island, Lexie discovers the real dangers that lurk within this cursed community.

Endorsements & Reviews

"Author Marilyn Turk uses both romance and danger to quickly draw us into this page-turning novel. When Lexie Smithfield?s brother is killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor, she returns to the family's vacation home in Jekyll Island, Georgia, which she hasn't seen since she was a child. The old home still stands, though it is uninhabited?at least, as far as Lexie can see. Her mother believed both the house and the island were cursed, but Lexie finds that difficult to believe. With the help of her childhood friend, Russell Thompson (now an extremely attractive man), she dares to challenge her mother?s belief?and quickly finds herself face-to-face with danger. This is a story I?d highly recommend, and one I hope has sequels coming along behind it." ~ Kathi Macias

"Multi-award-winning author of more than 50 books, including 2011 Golden Scrolls Novel of the Year, Red Ink Driven by a story of ?have nots? who once ?had everything,? The Gilded Curse magically takes us to an age of uncertainty by employing a cast of characters whose lives have been turned upside down by war and depression. With rich layers of description, this gripping suspense novel weaves romance, suspicion and intrigue into a dynamic wave of mystery." ~ Ace Collins, author of over sixty books and Christy Award-winning author of The Color of Justice

"Take a trip to WWII America with Marilyn Turk in The Gilded Curse, where Germans off the East Coast are only one of the worries for the heroine in this entertaining mystery/romance mix. You'll get 1940s atmosphere, enough mystery to keep the pages turning, and a sweet little romance to boot!" ~ Linore Rose Burkard, award-winning author of Regency breakout novels for the CBA

"The Gilded Curse is my kind of novel. I was totally drawn into the story from the very first page. I loved the setting and the entire cast of characters. It has everything you want in a novel: history, mystery, suspense, romance and intrigue. Highly recommended!" ~ Dan Walsh, best-selling author of The Unfinished Gift, The Discovery and When Night Comes
