from Warner Books... Parting
is such sweet sorrow... Jack put out his hand, touched her shoulder. "Merry, I-""Sssh,""she said, then stood up on tiptoe and pressed her lips against his, the heat of her searing his mouth, exploding his brain. She pressed against him in uneducated passion, ripping his heart in two, hurting him with her unquestioning love. He could give in, give up, succumb. It would be so easy. All his questions, all his fears-he could banish them. Never ask the questions, never face the fears. He could take her, make her his own. Forget what his father had told him that last night, forget the past. Destroy her options. It would be so easy. Instead, he stood very still, not responding. Dying inside, but not responding. And then he walked away. From the acclaimed author of Escapade comes a wondrous romance set in a Regency England of opulence, decadence, and captivating innocence. Kasey Michaels unforgettably re-creates this fabulous world of star-crossed lovers who dare to defy the secrets and lies that would tear them apart... Slowly tumbling into ruin, once-stately Coltrane House is nevertheless a place of mirth and mischief, dazzling variety, and endless surprise. Any visitor can quickly see why: the sparkling presence of Meredith Fairfax, the red-haired imp who is ward to the estate master, and young Jack Coltrane, heir to the manor, who loves his home but loves little Merry more. As she grows from carrot-topped tomboy to breathtaking beauty, Merry begins to adore Jack. But conspiring against their union is Jack's unscrupulous father, who has a shattering secret he has kept hidden for years. Guiding Merry and Jack to their passionate dreams are two delightful guardian spirits with their own dramatic flair, a most civilized native warrior from the faraway New World, and the joyous power of their own youthful hearts, stronger than yesterday's darkest shadows...
