SummaryDear Reader,
I love when my books are reissued so new readers can
discover them, and I've always had a particular fondness for
River of Fire because of the contradictions in the hero's
nature. Rebel, soldier, hero and spy, Kenneth Wilding was
known as the Demon Warrior for his matchless abilities.
Then he returns from the Napoleonic wars to an empty title
and a ravaged estate.
A stranger offers a devil's bargain: financial salvation in
return for Kenneth's special subversive skills. Reluctantly
Kenneth enters the household of England's greatest artist to
unmask a terrible crime. But he also discovers something
infinitely more dangerous: a tantalizing new way of life,
and an irresistible woman.
After scandal destroys her trust and her reputation,
tempestuous Rebecca Seaton withdraws to an attic studio and
buries herself in her work. Then Kenneth Wilding sweeps into
her life, dazzling her senses with his pirate's face and
poet's soul.
Amidst danger and betrayal, Kenneth and Rebecca grow and
change, finding the best in themselves and in their
partners. Only after braving their river of fire can Kenneth
and Rebecca find the joy and peace of lasting love.
Happy reading always—
Mary Jo Putney
