Despite her father’s dream of having an English aristocrat for a son-in-law, Chrissie is determined not to marry for social status alone. She cannot live without love—and will find it at any cost.   Featuring a cast of unforgettable characters, The Millionaire’s Daughter is the heartwarming, surprising tale of a young woman caught in the crosscurrents of ambition and desire.

  Your mission: Stop the South African nuclear test! 
  “The scuttlebutt is when you go to sea with Mac, you're in for a frigging great adventure!"— Professor John B. Rosenman (Ret.), Norfolk State University 
  In early 1989, ten years following an actual 1979 joint Israeli/South African nuclear test near Prince Edward Islands, known as the Vela Incident, South Africa was negotiating the end of apartheid. The regime had built six nuclear bombs, but had announced to the World it was dismantling five. The regime was also working on a small suitcase nuke. Israeli Intelligence got word of a pending nuclear test on Prince Edward Island and informed the U.S. State department. Working through the Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Submarine Fleet and the U.S. Atlantic Submarine Fleet, the U.S. State Department assigned Mac McDowell, as the new skipper of USS Teuthis, to onload an Israeli Shayetet 13 commando unit in the Falkland Islands and head into the waters near the Prince Edward Islands to get the facts and, if possible, stop any nuclear weapons test.

  Born into poverty, self-made banker Dexter Hart is now one of the wealthiest men in London. His ambition is to marry a title—and who better than the daughter of his enemy Viscount Alderley, the man who once whipped him as a boy, and on whom he vowed revenge? But Dexter's plan backfires, and he finds himself tricked into marrying Alderley's illegitimate daughter instead.

But she soon learns that beneath her husband's ruthless exterior lies a passionate man who renders her breathless with his fiery kisses and skillful touch. 
   
   
   
  But when Meggie's past returns to haunt her, she must decide whether she can trust the husband she's growing to love—or risk losing him forever.
