Wild Conquest
To spare her family shame, spirited Pleasance Dunstan
sneaks into Tearlach O'Duine's room at night - in order to retrieve
torrid letters of love indiscreetly penned by her foolhardy sister. But
her scheme is undone by Tearlach's untimely return. And now Pleasance
must submit to a punishment far worse than the pillory: indentured
servitude to the ruggedly handsome fur trader.
At first the infuriated Scotsman feels nothing but
scorn for the brazen miss who robbed and assaulted him. But vengeance
soon gives way to desire, as the sight of the lovely, sensuous thief
stirs up passions Tearlach can scarcely control. In his backwoods
mountain cabin, he resolves to make his reluctant servant pay dearly for
her crimes - never dreaming that it is his own lonely, loveswept heart
that will ultimately be enslaved.
