Alana — Monica Barrie

A PROUD, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN TORN BETWEEN HONOR AND DESIRE

The Civil War had ravaged everything but her beauty and her dreams. Alana Belfores vowed to rebuild Riverbend at any cost -- even a loveless marriage.

Not until Rafe Montgomery rode into her life did she know the touch that sears...the kiss that devours...the ecstasy that consumes the body and damns the soul. For one stolen night, Alana was his -- completely. But with the morrow came a terrible truth...a shocking betrayal...and a desperate fight for the passion every woman dreams of having once, but few dare make their destiny -- forever.
