Escape Me Never

BEYOND LOVE'S FANTASY

When Modesty Swann journeyed to Mexico from New York City, it was to collect the inheritance left to her by a wealthy widow. Destiny had a much greater adventure in store for her...

Mistaken for the Empress Carlota, Modesty is kidnapped and held for ransom by rebel forces sworn to overthrow the monarchy. Suddenly, the innocent young American girl who had dreamed of waltzing in the royal palace is alone in a wild and beautiful country, captive of the darkly handsome general they called El Tigre. Terrified, Modesty plots her escape... but her limbs tremble, not in fear but in response to the hunger she sees in her captor's dark and penetrating eyes. In fury and in shame, she tries to deny the desire he has awakened.

But even when she escapes to the glamorous world of the aristocracy, Modesty knows she can never be free. All her girlish fantasies are lost in the tormented memories of days and nights of savage splendor... of passion beyond her wildest dreams... and of the one man who ignited the fires of a woman's love and made her his captive forever.
