Witch'S Harvest
First published 1988 · 189 pages
A sweeping, angst-ridden vintage romance where duty and burning desire collide under the sweltering Brazilian sun.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage 1980s romance feels like stepping into a lush, emotionally volatile soap opera set against a sweltering Brazilian backdrop. The narrative moves at a brisk, breathless pace, driven entirely by the intense internal monologue of a heroine caught between overwhelming desire and crippling insecurity. The prose is wonderfully melodramatic, leaning heavily into heightened emotional states, brooding glances, and the agonizing tension of a marriage built on obligation rather than confessed love. It is a deeply angsty, tension-filled experience that thrives on miscommunication and the slow, agonizing burn of unrequited feelings finally being answered. Readers who devour classic, high-drama category romances featuring possessive heroes and the delicious torment of a marriage of convenience will find themselves completely swept away.

About the book
"Marry me, querida. Be my wife."
Vasco da Carvalho's proposal came as a dream. Even in her wildest fantasies about the Brazilian rancher, Abigail had not dared to expect this!
Until yesterday, this exotic male has been engaged to her cousin. Now... well, Abigail could only interpret Vasco's actions as those of a man doing the honorable thing.
Because last night Abby had comforted him in his rage. And while she could never regret their unplanned moment of passion, how could she share a lifetime with a man who felt obligated to marry her?
