By Love Alone — Judith E. French

PASSIONATE GAMBLE

Pale and defiant as she stood beneath the hangman's noose, Lady Kathryn Storm met Pride Ashton's hard, unfathomable gaze. You brought me here, she thought wearily. But if death will release me from the hell of wanting you, I'm glad--and damn the price!

Bold, mysterious, shudderingly powerful, the English Lord had awakened Kate's innocent senses to a rapturous, hungry desire she had never known. Then coolly surrendered her to the King's justice...

Now amid the majestic splendor of the colonial wilderness, Kate watched in terror as Pride entered the warrior's circle, risking all to make his prisoner his bride. And in that magical moment Kate helplessly gave herself body and soul to the fierce and tender promise of everlasting love.
