  HER FURY PROMISED VENGEANCE
  
  Leonie's only interest in the despicable cad she had been forced to marry was
  the return of her dowry She
  
  had not seen her husband in five years, and now Morgan Slade angrily denied
  there had ever been a
  
  marriage.
  
  HER PASSION PROMISED LOVE
  
  But in the cool shadows of the enchanting forest that surround Morgan Slade's
  elegant southern plantation,
  
  the fury of her hatred yields to the fierce hunger of unquenched longing. In
  the powerful arms of the dark
  
  and handsome husband she thought she despised, Leonie trembles with the sweet
  agony of awakened desire
  
  and helplessly surrenders to the wild, intoxicating ecstasy of blazing
  passion. And together they abandon
  
  themselves to the exquisite pleasure of the love their hearts cannot escape.
