Ecstasy's Flame

HE WON HER HEART

Williamsburg's master silversmith, Christopher Carlson, was a happy man ... until a disastrous fire destroyed his new shop. Forced to seek temporary lodging at the Stag's Head Inn, Chris was in for another disappointment, the delicately lovely innkeeper expressed her sympathy, but refused his advances--something no woman had ever done before! Determined to win her, Chris began his courtship with a gentle kiss ... a soft and friendly touch ... but in moments his senses were on fire. Soon, he vowed, he would claim the lovely Abby in love's ultimate and rapturous caress ... or die trying!

SHE CRAVED HIS TOUCH

As sole owner of the Stag's Head Tavern, Abigail Barclay's life was all work and no play... until the night a soot-blackened man stumbled to her door. Soon she realized that handsome Christopher Carlson wanted more than food and shelter--but she had vowed never to trust a man again. Determined to resist Chris's compelling charms, Abby hardened her heart against him, and kept out of his sight ... but she couldn't keep him out of her dreams. Before she knew it, her resolve was wavering! She longed to feel his lips on hers ... his warm caresses on every inch of her body ... his arms around her in love's ecstatic embrace... all through the long, Virginia nights.
