Lovely young Silvia Bradstreet comes from
London to an isolated estate off the coast of colonial Georgia to
be an indentured servant. But a far different fate awaits her.
Clothed in finery and pampered like a queen, she finds herself a
pawn in the devious schemes of Wilhelm Schlange, master of Serpent
Tree Hall, as he manipulates the family members who hope to inherit
his vast fortune. Haunted by ghostly dreams and threatened by the
island’s deadly secrets, Silvia cannot trust her own senses, much
less anyone around her. Most of all, she dare not trust her growing
passion for Schlange’s nephew, handsome sea captain Roman Toller.
His lips move like a hot flame over her flesh and draw the very
breath from her body. Can Roman offer Silvia an escape from her
dark fate—or is he leading her closer to destruction?
If only his kiss had been hard, brief and
demanding, but it was not. It was gentle and probing, possessing,
and took her breath away …
Amanda Fairfax met Ryne Sullivan
when she came to take possession of the colonial Virginia
plantation that was her legacy. She could see resentment burning in
his dark blue eyes, yet once in his arms she could feel how
fiercely he hungered for her, and how little she could resist his
desires or her own. In a place where terror ruled the night and
mystery cloaked each move, Amanda could not fully trust her lover
or her love, for she sensed every moment of ecstasy might be her
last…
Demure society beauty Lilah Damon is secretly
Delilah, Flame of the West, a notorious saloon singer with fire red
hair who inflames men’s passions with her sultry stage show while
pursing a personal mission of vengeance. When handsome cowboy Tabor
Stanton, fleeing his own troubled past, threatens to expose her
double life, Delilah must submit to his every desire to protect her
secrets.
