At the tender age of 15, Lady Caroline Ware was kidnapped
and experienced the horrors of being held by her kidnappers
for days. Since the traumatic episode five years ago,
Caroline stays sequestered at her father's estate,
terrified of crowds and men. As Caroline returns from a
village errand, she's once again set upon by highwaymen.
Only this time, a man rescues her from the villains. From
his kind and soft voice, Caroline feels a bond with her
champion.
Rogan Hunt comes from a disreputable family where it seemed
he'd follow their example. Trying to remove him from a life
of depravity, his favorite aunt bought Rogan a commission
in the army. It gave him maturity, but also provided him
with war's nightmares. Using his gift as a horse whisper,
Rogan plans to build his own stables. However, his gift
comes with a terrible curse, an uncontrollable temper.
As a reward for rescuing his daughter, Caroline's father
offers Rogan his daughter's hand in marriage. Having always
admired Caroline, Rogan is tempted, but knows he's
unworthy. Pressured, Rogan accepts and tries to remove the
shadows in Caroline's eyes.
JUST ONE TOUCH is a poignant story about new beginnings and
second chances. Watching the emotional interplay between
Caroline and Rogan will delight readers as the characters
battle their demons. Ms. Mullins continues giving readers
good solid stories.
Rogan Hunt would like to forget his disreputable history
and rebuild his family's ruined estate in peace and
solitude. But when a damsel in distress requires rescuing
from highwaymen, he dares not turn away -- especially when
she is Lady Caroline Ware, the enchantress he has admired
for years from afar. Yet when her father offers Rogan her
hand in gratitude, the reformed rogue is taken aback, for
he never believed this treasure could truly be his ...
A marriage to the notorious Rogan Hunt? The handsome
scoundrel puzzles her, terrifies her. But in the night, his
words are kind and caring, his touch tender and patient,
arousing a desire she never thought she could feel for any
man. But there is danger in his seduction -- for
surrendering to Rogan's love could court a peril that waits
in the shadows of her past ... and destroy a remarkable
passion before it takes wing.
