Publisher Description
From New York Times bestselling author Kathleen E. Woodiwiss comes one of her most iconic and beloved romances of all time…
A pact is sealed in secret behind the foreboding walls of Newgate Prison. In return for one night of unparalleled pleasure, a dashing condemned criminal consents to wed a beautiful heiress, thereby rescuing her from an impending and abhorred arranged union.
But in the fading echoes of hollow wedding vows, a solemn promise is broken, as a sensuous free spirit takes flight to a lush Caribbean paradise, abandoning the stranger she married to face the gallows unfulfilled.
Ruark Beauchamp’s destiny is now eternally intertwined with that of the tempestuous, intoxicating Shanna. He will be free . . . and he will find her. For no iron ever forged can imprison his resolute passion. And no hangman’s noose will keep Ruark from the bride— and ecstasy—that he craves.
Customer Reviews
My favourite book of all time
I’ve had the pleasure of reading this book around 5 times now, the first time would have been around 1981 ish, each time I read it (my real paperback book fell apart from overuse) I would see the story in a slightly different way, I suppose that comes with growing up and different perspective.
Shanna is feisty and thinks she knows what she wants, however she just hadn’t found ‘the one’ and couldn’t recognise that he was ‘the one’ when she did
Raurk is her saviour (and my hero) just for putting up with her antics, he never wavers, he is Mr Reliable, Strong, Smart and knows what he wants, he wants Shanna
He is every woman’s dream, and the perfect man!
