About this book

Set in England (the beginning), New Orleans, Natchez and the Southwest (including the Republic of Texas) during the years 1836-1840 While Passion Sleeps (Louisiana #8) THE LADY: Beth Ridgeway, 17, was a violet-eyed platinum beauty -- the kind of woman who made men burn with desire. Yet her husband Nathan didn't want her... THE ROGUE: Rafael Santana, the darkly handsome and arrogant son of a wealthy Texas family, had been kidnapped by the Comanches and raised as a warrior. Even now, all his gentleman's breeding couldn't conceal the savage strength beneath his aristocraic bearing. THE FURY: Beth thought he was cruel and insensitive, a man who used women only for his selfish pleasure and then tossed them away. Rafael thought she was a common wench -- flirtatious and unfaithful -- who took pride in breaking men's hearts. THE FIRE: Yet something had happened when their eyes first met at a dazzling New Orleans ball. Something their hearts could not deny, something neither the years nor the violent misunderstandings could diminish. Because for the first time, both Beth and Rafael were awakening to the magnificent passions of love. If you'd like to read more in Busbee's Louisiana Series (stand alones with some characters overlapping), here they are: * Gypsy Lady * The Tiger Lily * Deceive not my heart * Each time we love * Lady Vixen * Midnight Masquerade * Whisper to me of love * While Passion Sleeps * Love a dark rider * Love be mine * At long last
