CAPTIVE LOVE Miri Sutcliffe's wedding plans -- and the future she thought was hers -- were utterly destroyed by the war between England and America. Her handsome fiance was on the run for treason, and soon the lovely aristocrat herself, wrongfully accused of the crime, was boldly fleeing from her native land into the wilds of America.

Now this white Indian held her fate in his hands -- strong hands that tempted her, caressed her, aroused her. Even as she fought him, Miri could not win the battle that raged within her soul, the ravaging need to become a complete woman ... a thirst that could only be slaked by total, ecstatic surrender.

Now, far from inquiring eyes, these two slightly cynical lovers are going to discover just how good they are at being bad . . . and the outcome may be more than downright sexy. It may be true love.From the Paperback edition.
