Desire's Dream — Peggy Hanchar

PASSION IS WITHOUT CONSCIENCE... PRIDE IS WITHOUT REASON -- AND DESIRE IS A DREAMER

Lainie Gautier's beauty threatened to betray her into a loveless marriage -- the price of her return from the shores of Imperial France to her Florida plantation home, rich with childhood's fragrant memories. But her bold flight for freedom thrust her into a pirate's arms. Rikkar -- dark, silver-eyed master of her heart, man of mystery, as at home at the glittering plantation fetes as among the marauding Seminoles. He captured her heart forever in a single whirling night of fevered desire. But the promise he made was shattered, leaving a hatred as consuming as her love...

Strange fortune had made him her husband, she refused his passionate love. For her wounded pride promised that revenge was sweeter still, but fate made its own promise -- that what was sweetest was yet to come...
