Stronger Than Passion

Stronger Than Passion is a historical romance set during the stirring events of the Mexican-American War. Travelling from the intrigues of Washington D.C. to the pageantry of aristocratic Mexico City, to the pulsing Texas borderlands, this novel portrays all the drama of a time of turbulence, when cultures clash and the resulting explosion can only end in violence -- or love. Christina de Sainz is a beautiful young widow of European descent, patrona of a vast estate in a country not her own yet embraced as an adoptive homeland. Michael Brett is a wayward British lord with a troubled past and a mind set on vengeance. Their encounter in Mexico begins a dangerous game of intrigue involving suspicions and desperate maneuverings, with the possible fate of a nation in the balance. It is only after bloodshed and loss that distrust evolves into reliance ... and hatred into a desire as expansive as the heartbeat of two countries.
