Passion's Price — Barbara Bonham

Desire Temptation Surrender

In a heart-rending story set against the harshness and isolation of the vast prairies of 19th century America, we meet two unforgettable people whom fate has thrown together -- a lovely young widow and a lusty family man -- who struggle in vain against a forbidden but powerful attraction for each other. Having known only warmth and gratitude toward her husband, Beata Winfield is unprepared for the strong undercurrents of emotion that shake her whenever Kirk Scheidemann is near. And Kirk has never before known a woman like Beata -- sensitive, passionate, poised on the very brink of sexual awareness. Irresistibly drawn together, they are overcome by desire and inevitably succumb to the raging needs within them. Helpless victims of their overwhelming passions, they become outcasts in the community and nearly destroy each other before learning the price of true love and understanding.
