Lonewolf's Woman — Deborah Camp

SWEET TEMPTATION
Orphaned, penniless, and determined to keep her family together, Elise St. John hastily arranges to marry the half-Apache Missouri landowner who has agreed to adopt her young sister. It is a marriage in name only, intended to make the unconventional adoption acceptable. But as they try to form a family -- a Baltimore debutante who can't even cook and an outcast Indian whose heart is closed to love -- they are beset by needs and desires that they never anticipated...

For Elise, living with Blade becomes a sweet torment -- for his vital masculinity awakens in her a new and wondrous yearning that's to dangerous to acknowledge... and impossible to ignore. For Blade, true love becomes a tantalizing promise held just out of reach ... And it is only when they are in greatest danger of losing everything that they find the fulfillment of their most splendid dreams.
