Payback has never been hotter than in this sizzling story of a spirited widow and the man who’s determined to drive her wild with desire.
Morgan Evans, once a starving Confederate war veteran but now a wealthy businessman,
has spent years obsessing about one woman, a former childhood playmate. Beautiful and resourceful Jessamyn Tyler Evans derailed one of his spy missions by holding him
hostage in her bed, awakening a fierce, consuming passion in them both, and then
spurned him for his cousin, George.
Now Jessamyn is seeking Morgan’s help to find a legendary family treasure which
she desperately needs if she’s to save her beloved Somerset Hall and stable of
thoroughbreds. Morgan is happy to help her - for a price; she must be his, body and
soul, surrendering herself to whatever he demands. Searching for a prize her cousin
Charlie would kill for, they will discover that no threat is more perilous than their
passion.
