Synopsis:

It began as a daring desperate scenario to flush out a terrorist, a man whose crimes were serious enough for Sedikhan security chief Clancy Donahue to kidnap a stunning American singer to act as bait. A man who'd never known any true lover but danger, Clancy had no defenses against the beautiful captive whose spirit and passion imprisoned his heart. Lisa vowed to resist the flames of need that burned in her blood, but soon both were consumed by an aching desire that was as overwhelming as the merciless desert sun.

Synopsis:

Her skates sparkled as Dany Alexander spun on the glistening ice, tracing patterns in moonlight, lost in a shimmering fantasy. Suddenly Anthony Malik appeared beside her, matching his gliding steps to her own. With a cool, driven passion he had shaped her talent, encouraged her dream of an Olympic gold to match his own. But not until now had he taken her in his arms and taught her the figures and forms of a man and a woman in love. Tracing her delicate features with an exquisite precision, his lips echoed the breathless beat of her heart, and Dany was silk in his hands. But could Anthony give her what she wanted most - to be needed by the man she adored?

Winter Bride (Loveswept, No. 522)
Publication Date: 1/1/1992
Book Description:


Jed thinks his father's young, innocent widow is as cold and remote as a winter's day. But when Ysabel asks Jed to help her fulfill her burning quest, he glimpses her secret fires.

Ysabel's soft exterior hides one tough lady. Jed Corbin has made a life for himself as the top news anchorman in the States. When his unlamented father dies, he is shocked to discover he has a stepmom who looks exactly like the beautiful medieval portrait of the Winter Bride made flesh. Because of his contacts in San Miguel, she asks for his help to free her brother. In return, she is willing to give him whatever he wants. As they each face their own demons, they discover love. Despite the danger, Jed must prove he is not the greedy, manipulative person his father was.

A Tanned, Tough, Reckless Lancelot…

Jed Corbin slipped inside the island castle by night, determined to solve the mystery of the woman who'd won the prize that should have been his. But he never expected to tumble a captive princess to the floor, nor to feel an astonishing, furious desire for this voluptuous wildcat clothed in ermine and velvet! Ysabel Belfort had had her own desperate reasons for agreeing to become one man's fantasy, but now she was free of his prison, and prepared to trade everything she'd won for what she must have--Jed's help in returning to her home of San Miguel, to recover what she'd been forced to leave behind. Jed felt a savage pleasure in arousing Ysabel and commanding her surrender, but he was stunned to find the true conquest was hers. Engulfed in a whirlwind of danger and desire, helpless to resist the primitive demands of their hearts and bodies, Jed and Ysabel fought each other and a shadowy, evil for the victory they sought--but if they lived, could they cherish each other for always?
