Gypsy Bride — Anne Hamilton

Betrothed to the highly eligible Earl of Greystone, a man she secretly fears, Lady Angelica Winsford yearns for the exotic gypsy, Gitano, a secretive man who had shown her the true meaning of passion and stolen her heart during one magical night.

En route to Canleigh Castle to meet the eligible Earl of Greystone, Lady Angelica Winsford was forced to stop for the night. But scarcely had she settled into her room than a shadowy stranger appeared. He said the gypsies called him Gitano, and his pleas for refuge touched Angelica's very soul. Surely some Romany magic had brought them together -- if only for a brief moment. Even after they'd gone their separate ways, Gitano haunted Angelica's dreams. Now promised in marriage to a man she secretly feared, she despaired of ever again knowing the tender passion Gitano had shown her. But in a forest near the castle, fate would bring them together once more. Although his true identity was a mystery, Angelica soon found herself melting into Gitano's ardent embrace. Could she abandon the world she knew for an uncertain love? Or would she live forever longing for the rapture that could have been hers if only she'd dared to risk her heart?
