The Golden Panther — Sylvia Thorpe

SECRET LOVER

For fifteen years beautiful young Damaris Brandon believed the infamous buccaneer, Captain Lucifer, to be her brother. But the Captain, known to his intimates as Kit Brandon, has chosen to shield her from the truth. Kit has never dared to reveal her past--the story of the rescue of the infant Damaris from a murderous nobleman.

Kit had always known that the curious heraldic brooch he had found on the child was the real key to her identity. But he had no wish to discover it. For he did not want to lose her. Not yet.

Then one day the villainous Earl of Chelsham blundered into their lives. And, Damaris was caught up in a deadly game of intrigue and violence that threatened everything she loved

THE GOLDEN PANTHER--
a vivid, lively tale of exotic adventure in the Caribbean, of a man who fought to save the woman he had sworn to protect and a woman who longed for the one man she dared not love.
