For Jessica. born into poverty and her father s cruelty.

the offer of marriage from rich rancher Daniel Fielding

seemed like a miracle. And when her father shot her

fiance in cold blood on her wedding day and kidnapped

her. it was more than a cnme...It was the shattering of

her dreams.

Little did Jessiea know that Daniel s rough and wild

cowboy brother Jake was coming to rescue her. the

same brother who believed her a scheming fortune

hunter. Buming with vengeance, Jake Fielding rode

hellbent for leather across the Western plains: only to

bum with desire when he found her-his brother s

betrothed, and his own destiny.

Jesslca had run from danger and death to bliss and

betrayal. Now. m Jake s anns. the fire of each forbidden

kiss could sweep her towards a lifetime of lies. a show-

down of blood and tears-or an eternity of love.
