Savage Embrace

Vanessa journeyed to London with her blind father. She was nineteen and beautiful, ready for a bright future. Then thieves attacked her carriage; and before the night was through, Vanessa was an orphan -- battered, homeless, penniless. Captain Brian Cameron rescued her, but he did not believe her story nor guess at her strength and courage. She could help the Palatine settlers on their voyage to the New World, battle the pirates who ravished her, survive in the forest and shine like a queen at an elegant ball. All Cameron knew was that he, like every man who looked at her, was engulfed by desire.
