Promise Me the Dawn — Jill Gregory

"IN A DARKNESS OF LONGING, PASSION KINDLED LOVE'S FLAME"

Belinda -- a beauty with hair of fire, an orphan cast adrift in cold, bleak Salem, a woman of passionate destiny.

Justin -- a handsome pirateer, dashing and strong with silver-gray eyes, a wealthy landowner feared by the colonists, a man of powerful desires.

Drawn together by a force as relentless as the tides, their love begins with a kiss as sweet as a dream...their passion promises immeasurable ecstasy.

But cries of witchcraft ring in the night as the twisted conscience of the townspeople wails its curse -- to punish Belinda for her beauty. For her dark-cloaked guardian would have the price of love be death.

Only Justin can save her...but a woman has sailed from England to be his bride. And Belinda waits in her darkness to be rescued by the unceasing fire of his extraordinary love, by an ardour that knows no fear or defeat, a passion to make hearts tremble, a dream of undying love...
