This Perilous Ecstasy — Jeanne Sommers

PRISONER OF WAR

Even as their families were divided by the onslaught of the Mexican War, Consuela de la Cortina and Cramer Highby swore that nothing would destroy their love or the sensual ecstasy they had discovered together. So, when Cramer unwitting led the U.S. Cavalry into a trap set by Santa Ana's army and put himself in danger of execution, Consuela set out on an errand of mercy -- into the rough, demanding arms of the infamous Santa Ana himself!

SLAVE OF LOVE

Now nothing would keep her from the man she gave her flesh to save. But war and prison had turned Highby's passionate love to cold hate. All he wanted was to escape the fiery beauty who betrayed him with mocking abandon, tormented him in memories of the night they fired each other's desire. And all Consuela wanted was to melt once more and forever in her lover's arms, beyond the bitter din of the war that divided them.
