A Matter of Sixpence — Jacqueline La Tourrette
THE DEVIL TAKE HER
Her name was Temperance Device - a very proper name for a very lovely girl in Puritan Salem, Massachusetts. But her name was the only thing temperate about her.
From the moment Temperance saw the dark and elegant Stranger, she well suspected who he was. She needed no sight of cloven hoof or pointed ears to know his true identity: the pounding of her heart was enough.
And swept by a longing as passionate as it was irresistible, Temperance decided she had to have this man as her own - even if it meant letting him have her...body and soul....
