RULING PASSION

Autumn McAvan. With brains and beauty she built and ruled one of the nation's most successful business empires. Women admired her. Men lusted after her. But she never forgot her humble beginnings--or Douglas Osborne, the ruthless mining magnate who had killed the man she loved.

Autumn was still a teenager when she decided she wanted money, position, power. But she learned to be a woman fast, selling herself to buy her ticket to opportunity. From there, she never looked back...as she wed a small nightclub owner, who gave her freedom...as she allied herself to a sexy Irish tycoon, who matched her fire in bed as well as her smarts in business. Autumn only looked forward to the day she returned to the town that Douglas Osborne ruled...where her beauty was her weapon to seduce and destroy both him and his handsome, dynamic son...and where the only thing she had to fear was love....
