SHE WAS SEARCHING FOR LOVE

Orphaned and alone, Merribeth Winston set out in search of her runaway sister, the only family she had left.

Riverboat gambler Brent O'Neal was as irresistible as they came. The handsome, blue-eyed devil tempted her as no man ever had ... his kisses sparking a fever in her blood, his caresses enflaming her most secret desires. And soon she yearned only to fuel the fire that raged deep inside her with the sensuous heat of his searing embrace!

HE WAS BENT ON SEDUCTION

There and then, the worldly cardsharp vowed she would be his... in all but name. He would follow her to the ends of the earth if he had to. For he--and he alone--knew the heavenly delights he would find in her arms!
