Moon Flower
Henke, Shirl
Lovely, fiery Deborah Manchester was determined to fight for women's equality -- even though her proper Bostonian friends and her fiance scorned her ideas. Then, at their betrothal party, her husband-to-be attacked both her beliefs and her honor. But just as he was about to disgrace her forever, an olive-skinned stranger broke down the door and came to her rescue. He was Rafael Flamenco, a Creole with flashing eyes, the wealthy heir to vast sugar holdings, and a man unlike any Deborah had ever met. His coal-black hair, scorching smile, and masterful touch made her feel, for the first time, like a woman. Yet to win his heart would plunge her into an entirely new way of life -- and turn her into the pampered plaything of a plantation lord.

Soon, from the steaming Louisiana bayous to the wide-open spaces of Texas Deborah would learn her first lesson in love: that she could neither escape nor resist her need for Rafael ... his lips ... his flesh ... his passion.
