Destined To Be Mine

In a moment of stark terror, ten-year-old Duncan Roderick, pampered son of the Earl of Cleaves, becomes the prisoner of the fierce Iroquois of Maryland. A captive in an untamed land, he soon turns more savage than civilized, more embittered than loving...even after he finally escapes. Dubbed the Colonial Devil, the roughhewn nobleman returns to England to reclaim his title -- and his bride.

But lovely, red-haired Jillian Hollingsworth is not the woman he has come to wed. Yet the scarred, brooding Roderick arouses Jillian as no man ever has. Together, they will become pawns in a murderous conspiracy that stretches all the way to the English throne. And together, discover the power of destiny -- and the splendor of their redeeming love.
