Defiant

She Forced His Hand Three years ago Jared St. John was imprisoned, wrongly, for the murder of his own brother. Now, finally free, he wishes only to live in peace, hoping to heal the darkness that plagues his soul. But his self-inflicted isolation is destroyed when he is drugged, spirited away to a church, and forced to marry a brazen enchantress against his will. . . He Captured Her Heart Lady Gwyneth of Windrose knows something of false imprisonment, but that doesn‘t stop her from abducting a stranger when it‘s her only hope of gaining her liberty. Yet the moment she‘s alone in her unwilling new husband‘s powerful presence, everything Gwyneth thought she knew of men--and of seduction--falls by the wayside. For the first time in her life, it‘s not freedom Gwyneth craves. . .but to give herself over to unyielding passion. . . "This highly sensual battle of wills/captive-captor romance is highly reminiscent of early Johanna Lindsey." --Romantic Times on Pleasures of Sin "Jessica Trapp mixes passion, betrayal, abduction and revenge into a tasty brew." --Hannah Howell on Master of Pleasure
