Across a Starlit Sea
SHE WAS CAUGHT IN A WHIRLWIND OF PASSION...
TORN BETWEEN TWO MEN, TWO BROTHERS, AND TWO FATES

As the wind tossed her tangled locks, Laura Prescott looked out into a future as bleak as the savage moors. The only daughter of a sea captain, Laura was betrothed to the master of Stormswept Heights. But it wasn't Jarrett Chandler who came to her in dreams; it was his impetuous younger brother Nicholas. Now, standing on the jagged Cornish cliffs, Laura let her tears fall, for she could not foresee a time when she would tremble beneath her husband's hungry kisses. Nor could she know that a spoiled maiden and a scoundrel schemed for her ruin. All she could do was rush blindly into desire's mad embrace, toward a destiny decreed by irresistible love.
