DEFIANT PASSION Young Samantha Lowery cautiously examined the handsome Confederate officer she'd wounded. A band of ex-Rebel marauders had sworn to drive her from her land, and she was certain this man was one of them. Although she was mesmerized by the spellbinding depths of the stranger's deep green eyes and the tempting strength of his lean, muscular body, Samantha knew she couldn't afford to drop her guard for an instant. But she soon found she had no defenses against his forceful embraces, the devastating softness of his lips, or the sweet, shameless desire to stay forever a prisoner in his arms...
