Temptation's Triumph
She Betrayed Her Father and Her Faith -- to Love a Royal Rogue

AS 17th-CENTURY ENGLAND SUFFERED TURMOIL AND TREACHERY HE CONSUMED HER SOUL WITH A FORBIDDEN LOVE

Rachel's lovely, tear-filled dark eyes looked out from beneath the ugly Puritan cap she was forced to wear. Today her younger sister would be betrothed to Matthew, the man Rachel had expected to marry.

And on this same dark and stormy day Lord Hetherington returned from exile to find his ancestral home burned to ashes by a rampaging Puritan mob. Now he vowed to possess all he desired -- including a bride whose dowry could rebuild his magnificent estate and whose passion could sear away his memories of the bewitching ladies of King Charles's court.

Dare Rachel dream of becoming Lady Hetherington when her heritage forbade her to love a man loyal to the King? And could she permit herself to feel such hungers while her Puritan faith forbade her to surrender to the caresses of this sinful man who came to claim her?
