Ten years ago Annabel Jenkins was the victim of her sadistic father.  In the years since, she has learned to live her life independently but she never forgot the man that rescued her and saved her life so long ago.  Brody Dunberg is everything Bel has ever wanted but untouchable.  For in saving Bel’s life, he lost his job and Bel feels responsible.  When Brody shows up on her doorstep to give her life altering news, Bel knows that she needs to trust him.  When he comes clean about the relationship him and his lover, Sheriff Callum McCloud, long for Bel is entranced and intrigued.  She doesn’t want to lose Brody and she doesn’t want to hurt Callum.  Her feelings are strong for both men and that is wrong, isn’t it?

Callum McCloud has loved Brody for years.  He has wanted Bel for almost as long.  When her attacker is released from jail early Callum knows that he and Brody must keep her safe.  But what if she doesn’t want him as part of the bargain? What if he loses Brody as well? Callum isn’t sure he would survive that. 

Carol Lynne has the ability to make me yearn along with her characters.  She weaves enticing and erotic tales of love and relationships that make me breathless.  I can’t get enough of her releases and Necklace of Shame is no different.  It was simply amazing.
