and elope.
Rhys Vaughan is a Welsh radical and the son of a disgraced
squire and Juliana is a young English lady and the
daughter
of the man who stole Rhys's family estate. Juliana and

that the worst.

makes
it difficult for her to him her love.
Juliana has believed that Rhys is dead and finally she
agrees to marry someone else but Rhys shows up in her
engagement party and refuses an annulment, instead forcing
Julianna to return to him.
There was also a secondary romance featuring Julianna's
maid and Rhys's friend. Their love story was also quite
wonderful and makes the plot more interesting.
STORMSWEPT is a revised version of the previously
published
book by Sabrina Jeffries she had written as Deborah
Martin. This is the story of deceptions, betrayal, anger
and
passion. The characters as absolutely amazing! I loved
Juliana although I was annoyed with Rhys at times due to
his
stubbornness on not wanting to see through Juliana's
perspective. Still I loved this book and couldn't put it
down.
Thank you Sabrina Jeffries for writing another amazing
book!
New York Times bestseller Sabrina Jeffries reignites
a daring love affair in this intriguing tale of desire and
deception—originally written as Deborah Martin and newly
revised for today’s audience.
The first wedding night that Lady Juliana St. Albans spent
with the dark and daring Rhys Vaughan was intoxicating, the
heady culmination of her new husband’s driving hunger and
her own awakened sensuality. When he mysteriously
disappeared the next morning, she waited for him in hope and
desperation. And when he was finally proclaimed dead in a
shipwreck, she bitterly mourned the loss of her love.
The second wedding night that Juliana spent with Rhys
Vaughan was six years later, after he returned to claim her
just as she was about to wed another. This Rhys was
different—bolder, harder, and convinced that she’d betrayed
him. Only their blazing passion remains from their years
apart. But is it enough to light their way through the maze
of mystery, menace, and mistrust—to the love they once
shared and would have to find again?
