When Louisiana-born Jasmine Du Maurier first saw the tall,
rugged stableboy currying her horse, the jet-haired minx
knew she'd found the perfect way to thwart her father's
plans to marry her off: she'd wed this lowborn servant,
later annul the marriage, and live happily -- and
independently -- ever after. But after the ceremony when
Jasmine noticed his speech was refined, his manner
aristocratic, and his touch electric, the strong-willed
girl realized she'd made a mistake. Now that she was so
close to achieving her liberty, she craved the bonds of
her man's embrace and the duties of matrimony's bed!
TRICKED BY DESIRE
Broad, towering Anthony Mongtomgery didn't bother to
correct the bossy sprite when she assumed he was the
stableboy. As a colonial agent, he didn't want to reveal
his identity. Then when Jasmine practically ordered him to
be her groom, Anthony went along with the deception for
fun. But once he became aware that she was truly his, the
hot-blooded spy had to claim her satin flesh as his own.
His mind dictated that he demand the annulment and forget
the luscious temptress ... but his body clamored to be one
with Jasmine and desire demanded he make her his CREOLE
CAPTIVE.
