Abducted from her homeland and seduced by her English captor passionate young Kitty McDonagh had become his adoring and grateful mistress. But Kitty faced betrayal and rejection when Carrick Cromer inherited his uncle's fortune and threw her out upon the world once more. Seething with bitterness, a whispered vow of vengeance upon her sensuous lips, she challenged him in London's glittering society, in the marbled palaces of Venice and in her beloved Irish homeland. But always she was at the mercy of the sensual ties which bound her to her enemy.
