Desire's Command — Marlene Suson

SHE USED HER WITS AS A WEAPON .. .
To Chandra, a ravishing and rosy-cheeked English beauty, the barbarous young republic of America offers one last hope for escaping the evil torment of her mercenary guardian and his lecherous henchmen.

What mysterious power lay behind those dark eyes which made subtle mockery of her sacred vow? From the splendor of the lush English countryside to the dazzling elegance of America's grandest plantations, Chandra's bold and ardent spirit will not be tamed . . . until a penetrating and passionate love strips everything from her, but the need to answer . . .DESIRE'S COMMAND
