For the past fourteen years, Dario Vitez, has accumulated wealth and made a name for himself as an owner of the Mezzaluna restaurant. Love is the only thing missing from his life. Since the high school graduation, his sweetheart, Irena Novak, has been forced into a marriage of convenience and now lives half a world away. Though devastated by her loss after all these year, he still longs to see her one more time, just to affirm she has a better life than what he could offer her fourteen years ago. His wish gets granted the night he decides for once to put his work on hold.
Irena is not free from her marriage contract. Danger follows her in form of her husband, Fred Penne. Not only that Fred decided she knows too much to live, but he also wants Irena’s daughter, Ella, and does not care who he must kill to get her.
Discovering the truth about the ones Dario holds dear and the danger they are in, there are no lengths he wouldn't go to protect his new family against the cunning enemy.
Suspenseful, romantic and awash in Gypsy magic and Slavic folklore, "Gypsy Stone" captures the enchantment of the Adriatic coast and the power of love, family and friendship.
Zrinka Jelic lives in Ontario, Canada. A former member of the Romance Writers of America and its chapter Fantasy Futuristic & Paranormal, Kiss of Death as well as Savvy Authors, she writes contemporary fiction—which leans toward the paranormal—and adds a pinch of history. Her characters come from all walks of life, and although she prefers red, romance comes in many colours. Given Jelic’s love for her native Croatia and the Adriatic Sea, her characters usually find themselves dealing with a fair amount of sunshine, but that’s about the only break they get.
