574. Desire (Thea Devine)

The Myrtles Plantation in Louisiana

Synopsis from author:
After twenty years, prodigal son Flint Rutledge has come home to the Louisiana plantation his favored brother is determined to run into the ground — but not for long. Flint plans to lay claim to everything his brother has ever wanted — his land, his position, and especially, his dream woman, Dayne Templeton, daughter of their greatest enemy. One look at the green-eyed seductress his brother couldn't tame stokes a potent desire in Flint, one that tells him that bedding the headstrong beauty will be sweet revenge indeed ....

Men have called Dayne both a destroyer and a temptress, and Dayne relishes her status as an unconquerable coquette who can tease and bend a man to her will without ever giving him the reward he craves. But nothing has ever prepared Dayne for a real man ... one determined to possess her at all costs ... a skilled and ruthless lover with the power to ignite a smoldering passion she is helpless to resist ....

Now, as simmering family secrets and an ages-old feud threaten to destroy all they cherish, Dayne and Flint have become passion's pawn, surrendering to a searing desire beyond their wildest dreams ... and beyond all control ....

My rating: 4 stars
