Creole Fires
A WOMAN OF HIDDEN FLAMES
The once wealthy, flirtatious belle stood on the auction block to be sold as a servant. Her sensual figure disguised, her glorious titan hair disheveled, she looked like a waif, trembling when she recognized the highest bidder-idol of her childhood dreams.
A MAN OF BLAZING PASSION
Alex du Villier brought the girl out of pity, but her aqua eyes stirred his soul and her body ignited his blood. She would be the perfect mistress to make him forget his coming marriage to a cold, haughty heiress. Now he intended to teach this innocent beauty that although he had purchased her freedom, he could steal her heart.
