Midnight Rain — Elizabeth Turner

Love's revenge

Once a spirited debutante, Alana Fairchild is now a penniless young widow with fierce determination to survive any way she can. When Trey Matthews first sets eyes on the bewitching Western saloon singer, he is stunned to discover that she is the Baltimore society vixen who destroyed his brother. At last he will have revenge by winning her heart and ruthlessly breaking it...

He sweeps his happy, unsuspecting bride off to his sprawling California ranch where he intends to spurn her. But gradually, despite himself, Alana's tender, loyal devotion transforms his fury to passion, his cruelty to caring...and he vows to prove himself worthy of her love and to cherish it forever.
