Flame in the Night — Jan McGowan

He was her "brother" in name alone, the only man who could win her heart!

Her gray-green eyes flashing, orphaned Cassie Harmon refused to be adopted -- unless rich and imperious Maria Andelet took her brother and sister too. Determined to raise her long-lost niece in wealth and privilege, Maria Andelet agreed. Yet Cassie was soon forced to bid farewell to gallant Robert, the "brother" who claimed her heart but not her blood. He was sent away to school in Boston, then to sea, and to London to help run the family business. In a whirl of parties and balls, beautiful Cassie was groomed to rule Philadelphia society, and to marry the husband of Maria's choice.

But on a sultry, stolen afternoon a raging passion flared, sealing the wild desire Cassie and Robert had so long denied. Now nothing, not even an arranged marriage, could keep Cassie from the man she was born to love.
