SummaryEven a perfect gentleman has a little devil in him.
Once a starving Confederate war veteran, Morgan Evans is now
a wealthy man respected for both his business acumen and his
chivalrous Southern manners. He would be the perfect catch
for any woman, but only one holds his constant attention.
Jessamyn Tyler Evans has been his obsession since the time
she derailed one of his spy missions by holding him hostage
in her bed for days. Her innocent explorations awakened a
fierce hunger inside the young Morgan, and the passion and
intimacy they shared frightened them both. Jessamyn spurned
Morgan for his cousin, and Morgan vowed that someday he
would drive her as wild with desire as she had driven him.
Now Jessamyn has returned. The payback has begun...
Jessamyn has an obsession of her own: hunting for a
legendary family treasure in the hills of Colorado. To do
so, the spirited widow needs a husband, and Morgan Evans is
only too happy to join her masquerade...for a price: she
must submit to being his, body and soul, surrendering
herself to whatever he demands. It's a devil's bargain to
be sure.
Their union is as treacherous as it is passionate—and
the only thing they can trust. Searching for a treasure
that may not exist—a treasure others would kill
for—two lovers are moving deeper into unmarked
territory, where no threat is more perilous than everything
they feel...
