The sizzling story of colonial America on the brink of revolution tells of a woman torn between the man she has promised to wed and the Irish-born renegade who has captured her heart. Now she must decide - promise or passion.
Abandoning her pampered life in England to marry a man in America, Elizabeth Lawrence finds her new world shattered when her husband is killed in an accident after only a few months of marriage, leaving her in charge of a gun powder business on the untamed frontier. She hires an Irish-born man named O'Brian as foreman. Soon the sparks fly.
She wanted to kiss his mouth. He was so close. His chest felt rock hard beneath her hand. She swayed toward him, her eyes drifting shut. It was as if she was under a magical spell, entranced by the depths of his green eyes and the sensual shape of his lips. She didn't like O'Brian much, but there was no denying she was deeply attracted to him.
"Ah, Liz," he whispered. He kissed the tip of her nose, the dimple at her chin.
I can't do this." But even as she spoke, she was running her hand up the corded muscles of his arm, to his broad shoulder, around his neck. She pulled herself closer to him, molding her soft body against his rock-solid frame.
"Kiss me, O'Brian."
When he brought his mouth down on hers, there was nothing gentle about his kiss. His mouth met hers, hard and unyielding, steadying her with his hand securely in the small of her back.
Elizabeth had never been kissed like this before. O'Brian's kiss was full of power, demanding a response. She couldn't think of one. She couldn't think at all.
