Surrender My Heart — Lois Greiman

DECEPTIONS AND DESIRE

Shocked to overhear a scoundrel offering to sell his own sister, Southern gentleman Justin Stearns pays the rogue $700 to rescue the innocent waif. But the "abused urchin" turns out to be very much a woman -- a sultry, flame-haired enchantress named Megan O'Rourke...who steals Justin's trousers at gunpoint and vanishes into the South Carolina night.

Vowing vengeance on the stunning Yankee swindler who played him for a fool -- and whose bewitching loveliness haunts him still -- Justin is well prepared when the wily miss returns to cheat him once more. With passionate caresses and blistering kisses, the handsome plantation owner intends to teach Megan the folly of her larcenous ways -- and force her to surrender to the sweet, sensual punishment called love.
