Love Betrayed — Patricia Rice

Sheer madness must have possessed her. She wanted this incredibly handsome stranger...she wanted his mouth on hers...the pressure of his hard body on her body...and she parted her lips invitingly...

Proud and beautiful Christina MacTavish as an innocent when she first encountered Damien Drayton, "the Yankee earl." Her pride melted in the fire lit within her by this lover who was so strange a mixture of harshness and tenderness-- and her innocence crumbled beneath his desire. But Damien, who had come from revolutionary America to claim his legacy in an England he hated, wanted her only as a mistress, not as a wife. In order to truly win the heart of this tantalizing man who had exercised so strong a hold on her very being, Christina had to survive the dangers of a voyage that took her from aristocratic London to a rebellious New Land...where flames of passion flared to ecstasy in the arms of the lord she loved so much...
