Runaway Heart — Tena Carlyle

A FUGITIVE OF LOVE
Jonquil Rose Trevain couldn't forget the day her mother and three intruders were slain in a shootout on her family's tiny Arkansas farm. On the fun from a false murder charge, she'd joined the carnival circuit, enchanting audiences with her plaintive banjo and velvet voice. Now the law had caught up with her at last -- in the form of a tall, rugged stranger with chestnut hair. She feared his suspicion, but craved his caresses -- kisses that sang within her and made wild mountain music when he touched her yearning flesh. Her runaway heart asked only that he take her for his own in love's ultimate embrace, for better or worse!

A PRISONER OF DESIRE
Adam Coulter liked working as an undercover Pinkerton agent: the grief and guilt he carried made him a loner, so the job suited him just fine. Yet one dance with Jonquil Rose Trevain was enough to flood him with a searing need for this angel with the sweet blue eyes. It was his lawman's duty to pursue her, especially now that he'd stumbled on evidence that linked her to his brother's murder in the Arkansas hills. He'd wrest the truth from the mysterious songbird's lips with relentless kisses, stroke her satiny curves into quivering submission, then sentence her to a lifetime of passion -- in his arms!
