Lady Defiant — Anne Carsley

She dared not trust him, yet could not resist him. -- RAPTURE'S CAPTIVE -- Spirited and lovely, Luisa of Marmoor had been forced by royal decree to wed a man she did not know. Vowing to rule her own fate, she set off for London to seek justice of King Henry V, only to be attacked by marauding highwaymen. Then the mysterious outlaw, Marcus Lenley, rescued her -- and claimed her for his own. Disdaining his arrogance, the chestnut-haired beauty swore never to succumb to the firm-muscled masculinity of her handsome captor. But his smoldering kisses, deep and hungry, tormented her with mad desire and the fire of his touch sealed the fate of her heart... and flesh.
