Passion's Honor — Diane Wicker Davis

DEVIL'S BARGAIN

Amicia of Bellay was helpless in a devil's choice: to wed her father's bitterest enemy, Tristan, Lord of Eden--or suffer his cruel revenge all the days of her life. Amicia chose marriage to the golden stranger, even though his dark gaze spoke not of love but of resentment.

Yet their wedding night was a wondrous, star-showered revelation of trembling desire aroused beyond redemption--only to be shattered in the cold light of dawn when Tristan's hunger turned to cool indifference.

Bound together in a coiling web of treachery, they fought for their very lives--until their love, too splendid to resist, banished the shadows of the past to claim the morning's everlasting rapture.
