[The Virginia Brides 01] • Rapture in His Arms

Slave

of desire...

Sold into slavery following Cromwell's

conquest of his divided homeland, fiery Irish patriot Donovan Shay had never

known anything but life's cruel hardships. Yet even as he toiled on the exotic

shores of a faraway island, he swore that someday he would be a free man. Then

a rich Virginia planter and his alluring, aqua-eyed young bride claimed him as

chattel. Consumed by a fiery hunger he could neither explain nor deny, Donovan

vowed that Jillian Cameron would be his.

Prisoner

of love...

Alone in the world after her father died,

Jillian had wed to gain protection. But hers was a marriage in name only, and

one glimpse of her new servant—all bronzed-bodied and golden-haired—was enough

to undo her. When fate and her husband's wishes threw her into Donovan's strong

arms, she fought her desire for him. Would she—could she—surrender to the man

whose soaring passion had enslaved her heart?
