Rapture in His Arms — Lynette Vinet

Sold into slavery following Cromwell's conquest of his divided homeland, fiery Irish patriot Donovan Shay had never known anything but life's cruel hardships. Yet even as he sweated and toiled on the exotic shores of a faraway island, he swore that someday he would be a free man... until he became the chattel of a rich Virginia planter and his alluring young bride. Consumed by a fiery hunger he could neither explain nor deny, Donovan vowed that before another sultry night had passed, the chaste Mrs. Cameron would be his prisoner of passion... in every way! All alone in the world after her father died, Jillian Cameron had wed to gain protection. But hers was a marriage in name only, and when, on a visit to Bermuda, she glimpsed her new servant -- all bronzed, sinewy muscle -- the searing flames of red-hot desire blazed through her innocent body. Though she knew it was wrong to love him, Jillian couldn't resist Donovan's heated caress... and now all she longed to do was surrender over and over again to this rapturous lover whose soaring passion had enslaved her very heart!
