Beloved Stranger — Phyllis G. Leonard

DRAWN TO EACH OTHER BY SILKEN THREADS OF DESTINY. BOUND BY BURNING DESIRE...

SHE WAS HIS IN A MOMENT OF MADNESS...

Shameless in the embrace of the extraordinary stranger sent by fate to claim her on the burning shores of the Yucatan, Belle Bradford -- ravishing beauty, brilliant archeologist, fearless woman in a man's world -- finally met her match in Luke Dundee, but he belonged to another even as she was bound.

They would meet again in Sante Fe where Belle -- alone, newly widowed, and shadowed by mortal danger -- searched the desert for the bones of primordial man... where Luke Dundee swore to have her again on his own terms... where their passions would flare, clash and fuse until they were strangers no more.
