Delta Moonfire — Linda Windsor

SHE WASN'T BORN YESTERDAY
Streetwise out of necessity, petite Erin Devereau knew every trick and game a woman can play to relieve a traveling man of his money. How else could an orphan girl survive in the rough-and-tumble world of Natchez-Under-the-Hill? Dressing as a boy and calling herself 'Aaron" protected her from men's advances -- until handsome Jackson Beauregard Tyler offered her a job on his new steamship, Delta Moon. It wouldn't take long, Erin guessed, for Tyler to penetrate her "cabinboy" disguise and discover her feminine assets. And even as she struggled to maintain her swaggering masculine pose, Erin yearned to feel the touch of Jackson's lips on hers, surrender to his soul-stirring caresses, and bask in the heat of heady passion under a silvery Delta moon.

HE'D CLAIM HER BY TOMORROW
River gambler Jackson Beauregard Tyler was a green youth of sixteen when he became indebted to Giselle Devereau and promised to protect her infant daughter. Now, years later, he'd found Erin, under the thin disguise of a Natchez street urchin who didn't even suspect he knew her secret. What was he to do with the hot-tempered, devious-minded young "boy" who threatened to reduce his well-ordered life to chaos? One thing he was pretty sure of: nobody would take her away from him until he'd tasted her pretty red lips, stroked the sweet curves and satiny limbs hidden beneath her rag-tag garments, and led her to the heights of rapture in passion's ultimate embrace ... all the way down the moonswept Mississippi River!
