Forbidden Flame
Out of the Mississippi night, a lone horseman rides to the rescue of lovely Catherine Breaux, saving her from bandits only to take her as his own prisoner. She never suspects that he is the mysterious Black Lion, the notorious brigand she has sworn to bring to justice for the murder of her brother.  --  For four years, Jase St. Claire has hidden his dark past behind the glittering facade of a landed gentleman. And now a willful, determined beauty threatens to unmask and destroy him for a crime he did not commit. But a heart enflamed with passion will leave the dashing rogue susceptible to an elaborate scheme of revenge - and to that most perilous of temptations: love.
