Impetuous beauty Lady Amanda Rose was determined to escape the loveless marriage that her cruel stepfather would impose on her. She never imagined that a mysterious, black-haired rogue from the New World would be the one to change the course of her destiny forever...
Fugitive of the Crown, unjustly accused of murder, Matt Grayson lay wounded and near death when Amanda first discovered him on the rocky shore. Her promise not to betray him was soon replaced by a still deeper vow—to give herself body and soul to this dark stranger who aroused a tumult of feelings unlike any she had ever known.
But a cruel twist of fate will throw them together—not as lovers but as enemies. Accused of betraying the man she loves more than life itself, Amanda soon finds herself on a shop bound for New Orleans. There, she is the hated captive of Matt Grayson, as object to be scorned, punished... and as the ship inches closer to its steamy destination... ravished.
| "You promised you wouldn't
leave me," she reminded him in a voice grown suddenly husky. Impulsively,
she lifted his hand and pressed it against her uninjured cheek. His skin
felt hard and hot and abrasive against the softness of her face. "I've changed my mind." But he made no effort to pull his hand away from her cheek. Instead, she was almost certain that the long fingers made an abortive, caressing movement before being abruptly stilled. "you don't know what you're asking for, Amanda." These last words were almost desperate. "No I don't, do I?" Her eyes met his again, their expression soft and seductive beneath the long lashes that half-veiled them. "But you could teach me. Matt." And she turned her mouth into his palm. |
