Lovely and rebellious Reina Alvarez fled home when her parents promised her in marriage to a man she did not love. Disguising herself as a nun to avoid the bounty hunter on her trail, Reina had no idea that the sensuous desperado tracking her would forever brand her heart with his love.
Bound to escape...
The last thing the beauteous Reina Alvarez wanted ws an arranged marriage, so when her father insisted that she wed an American of his choosing, just to save their ranch in California, the hotblooded senorita plotted her escape. Disguised as a nun, Reina caught a stagecoach headed East, determined to elude the rugged bounty hunter who'd been hired to fetch her back. But long before Reina reached New Orleans, she knew she could no longer deny the claim the sesuous desperado had made on her heart. One stolen kiss was enough to bind her silken body to those hard muscular arms when Clay Cordell captured her in his impassioned embrace and made her a slave to rapture.
Duped by desire...
Clay Cordell had been hurt once by a woman, and he vowed never to let another female into his heart. He didn't want to take the job of tracking down the arrogant Spanish runaway, but the stakes were too high to refuse. On the trail, he discovered only a pure-hearted nun, the very perfection of womanhood, a far cry from the vixen he was seeking. When Clay finally came face to face with the real Reina, he realized -- too late -- that he'd been played for a fool. Unable to resist the fiery woman who had dared to deceive him, he promised himself that before dawn he would stroke her soft flesh into submission until she became a willing captive to the starlight ecstasy of Sweek Silken Bondage.
