Crosswinds

the long version

Love's Turmoil Logan leaned down and kissed her softly. Rhea had been kissed before...but not like this. It sent startling waves of sensations thouigh her. Why couldn't she stop Logan? Why didn't she want to? Their "marriage" was only a business arrangement, made to protect Logan's inheritance. And Rhea, terrified by her contemptible stepfather, had been desperate enough to journey south to Virginia with Logan to become part of a way of life she despised, as his "wife." But even as the flames of war flared around Logan's magnifiicent southern plantation, desire smoldered between Logan and his beautiful notrhern "bride." Until in a blazin passion that consumed them both, they surrendered to the rapturous pleasure of love's discovery.
