Tess Murphy gazed at the fine gentlemenand ladies ascending the steps of a Manhattan hotel and dreamed of a handsome stranger who would carry her off to a life of beauty and elegancce... and a love to take her breathe away. She well knew that a milkman's daughter was foolish to have such fantasies. At nearly twenty, Tessa resigned herself to accepting kind, solid Brian Sullivan's proposal, though his kisses held no magic. She had witnessed too much of life's harshness to believe in fairy tales. Yet the day a wagon accident brought golden-maned Boston tycoon Chandler Tate into her life, she knew fate was at work. The attraction between them was instantaneous and blinding. He called her his innocent, his angel, and Tessa's frisson of foreboding at the dark shadow that crossed his aristocratic face soon disappeared when she was in his arms... as his bride. Not until she walked into Chandler's Beacon Hill mansion did her fears begin. She felt like an intruder in his gilded world, in his house of shadowed secrets. Her heart pounding, Tessa vowed to discover the truth... about his icy sister Daphne... his fiery rages... and the woman called Cynthia, his mysterious first wife. | |

the homeland she had not seen for so many years... desperate to find the man whose love had once made her life
a paradise... How well she remember the day she met, when, pistol drawn, she'd charged into the private garden
of Delhi's commander-in-chief and challenged the soldiers who were trespassing there. Captain Edward Langston
had been handsome, strong, and, despite his part in the day's mischief, possessed of a confidence that was instantly
complelling. Only sixteen, Charlotte had been innocent enough to ignore her maidservant's dark foreboding, headstrong
enough to defy her old-fashioned father and marry a man he considered an ambitious, arrogant upstart. Honeymooning
in the shadow of the Taj Mahal, Charlotte had glowed with incadescent love. but barely two months later, her happiness
had been shattered by a bloody native uprising that left her widowed and in despair. Now, ten years later, Charlotte was
leaving the heat and dust of india to embark upon a new, uncertain future... to find the beloved husband who, she had just
discovered, was miraculously still alive.
