Tender Betrayal — Virginia K. Smiley

His return rekindled the passion of old love...and ignited the terror of new fear

LOVE'S FURY

Anne's heart beat wildly as she watched her tall, handsome husband leave the plane and walk toward her. For four years she believed John was dead. Suddenly he had come back, so changed by his ordeal in the Amazon that Anne felt she no longer knew the man she married.

And there was something John didn't know. Anne had built Hillhurst, their horse-breeding farm, into a great success. But she hadn't done it by herself, and she planned to marry the man who had helped her.

Now Anne's feelings were in turmoil: ignited by John's hungry desire; seared by his terrible anger that she was no longer his alone. And when mysterious accidents began happening at Hillhurst, Anne wondered if she should love or fear this passionate stranger who had returned to claim her heart.
