About the book
LADY OF POSITION ... INDIAN'S BRIDE ... PIRATE'S PRIZE ... Robust, beautiful, a young lady burning with inner fire -- this was Angelina Barton. Even her father's wealth and power could not force her to marry lecherous Walter McCray. So as the clouds of Revolutionary War gathered overhead, Angelina fled their Virginia estate -- straight into the arms of tall, muscular Stephen Bennett, blood brother to the Cherokee, a man with a dangerous secret. Forced to become his Indian bride, night after night she vowed revenge against this tyrant who conquered her will as he ignited her deepest desires. On a tide of shame and feverish passion, he swept her off to the high seas, where dark-eyed pirate Adam Blake stormed into her life -- and where Angelina suddenly discovered her love for Stephen, just as a deadly blade threatened to take him from her forever!
