Creole Captive — Patricia Pellicane

TRAPPED BY LIES

When Louisiana-born Jasmine Du Maurier first saw the tall, rugged stableboy currying her horse, the jet-haired minx knew she'd found the perfect way to thwart her father's plans to marry her off: she'd wed this lowborn servant, later annul the marriage, and live happily -- and independently -- ever after. But after the ceremony when Jasmine noticed his speech was refined, his manner aristocratic, and his touch electric, the strong-willed girl realized she'd made a mistake. Now that she was so close to achieving her liberty, she craved the bonds of her man's embrace and the duties of matrimony's bed!

TRICKED BY DESIRE

Broad, towering Anthony Mongtomgery didn't bother to correct the bossy sprite when she assumed he was the stableboy. As a colonial agent, he didn't want to reveal his identity. Then when Jasmine practically ordered him to be her groom, Anthony went along with the deception for fun. But once he became aware that she was truly his, the hot-blooded spy had to claim her satin flesh as his own. His mind dictated that he demand the annulment and forget the luscious temptress ... but his body clamored to be one with Jasmine and desire demanded he make her his CREOLE CAPTIVE.
