About the book

Out of the tempestuous union of Steve Morgan and Ginny Brandon came Laura--daughter of light, woman of desire, the child born of a blistering, incomparable passion. A ravishing temptress at play in a world of fabulous wealth, like her mother before her she bewitches every male she meets. Yet Laura will have but one of them-- a raw, untamed rogue to whom she must surrender, heart, body, and soul.

For Laura Morgan is bound to Trent Challenger by the past and a promise. And there is no escaping the smoldering heat of his sensuous need--though scandal and shame surely await a rapturous, perilous love that is destined...and not to be denied.
