Brave the Wild Wind — Johanna Lindsey

Love may be the only thing a woman wants and the one thing a man cannot give

UNTIL A WOMAN KNOWS A MAN'S DESIRE, SHE CAN NEVER KNOW HIS LOVE.

When she overheard him refuse to marry her, she swore to make him suffer any way she could. But Chase Summers wasn't a man to be trifled with. Even thought beautiful Jessie Blair could hold her own against any man in the territory and was running a ranch by herself after land grabbers had murdered her father - Chase Summers drove her to a fury of frustration.

In her innocence, she did not understand how very much he desired her. Her beauty haunted him, her arrogance enraged him, she defied and tormented him...until his passion spilled over into violence. Yet nothing could soften her stubborn heart, it seemed, but to tame a man's pride. And no woman tamed Chase Summers.

Yet when fortune called him halfway across the world, he realized how empty his world was without her. And the girl who had become a woman in his arms, knew at last in her heart where her destiny lay.
