  A bewildered Shamara finds herself voyaging aboard his yacht to Senegal – where it’s the Marquis’s turn to be bewildered when they’re kidnapped by a tribal chieftain and held for ransom in his kasbah…

As a dark figure on horseback approaches the resplendent Louisiana estate of Sparrow Hill, a chill runs through Lacie Montgomery, the lovely head of the Sparrow Hill School for Young Ladies, because she is not exactly who she appears to be—and the exposure of her darkest secret could mean the closing of her beloved school and the end of its rightful place in the Kimbell family legacy. But Dillon Lockwood, the bastard Kimbell son, can see right through her, and he plans to extract her secret and save his family’s fortune, even if it means taking her to his bed, where deceit will crumble in the heat of a lover’s embrace.
