Wind Rose
Emblazoned in Amanda Sheffield's memory was the Englishman who saved her from an Indian raid on her family's Virginia plantation. Lord Braden Hamilton had sailed away to become a wealthy privateer, and Amanda had grown up a honey-haired beauty, a hellion on horseback, and a woman secretly lovestruck by the image of a hero larger than life. Then her half-brother offered Braden her hand in marriage. But her illusions were shattered when, instead of accepting, Braden arranged a match with a stuttering, aging marquess, a union that would pay her brother's debts...at the cost of her heart.

Sea-hardened, devil-may-care Braden volunteered to escort Amanda to her wedding in Bermuda, never suspecting that he would regret his part in her betrothal. Yet as he beheld the exquisitely lovely girl, a tremor shook his very being, for this woman was his destiny. In the heat of the island sun he seared a path of flame into her body and her soul. Happiness seemed theirs...until a scheming mistress from Braden's past tore them apart.

Now their passion would be put to the ultimate test, not in Bermuda's lush paradise, but in the harsh crucible of Puritan Massachusetts. As accusations of witchcraft swirled around them both, only the most daring sacrifice could set them free...to claim a love more precious than they had ever dreamed...
