Heart of Fire — Laura Ashcroft

JACQUES GAVE HER THE WORLD
It didn't take long for a man to notice young and sumptuous Inga Ulmstead. Her golden hair shimmered like the midnight summer sun. Her blue eyes sparkled like a hidden mountain lake. So when wealthy Jacques Estoire first saw the irresistible woman, he knew she was destined to warm his bed. He showered her with diamonds and wrapped her in mink, planning to make the sensuous beauty crave the luxury only he could give her. Jacques was sure that in time his money would buy him the unbridled carefree ecstasy that poor men could only fantasize . . .

ERIC PROMISED HER PASSION
Since the dawn of her womanhood, Inga had eyes only for Eric Karlsen. His tall lean frame made her want to meld her flesh to his. His sculpted sensual lips made her yearn to feel his kisses up and down her curves. Then one of the richest men in America took a liking to the Scandinavian beauty, and Inga had to make the decision that would govern her life: to be Jacques's pampered mistress and live each day in opulence or to be Eric's penniless wife and surrender each night to love's HEART OF FIRE
