The Tyrant

 " ."

Time: July 1746

Foreign Titles: Tyrann meines Herzens German

Synopsis:
THEY PLOTTED TREASON TOGETHER--UNTIL LOVE GOT IN THE WAY ...
Brooks was gallant, handsome, and loved her dearly, and perhaps Phoebe loved him in return. But thoughts of her betrothed fled the evening her brother enlisted her aid with his rebel cause--and Phoebe met her match with Meredith Carruthers, The Tyrant.
His handsome face and devilish eyes befit Lucifer himself. Worse, when Phoebe's outraged father discovered the two of them alone--Carruthers was forced to offer for her!
Phoebe soon found herself at the monstrous collection of ruins Carruthers called a home, thwarting the attempts of militia men and bounty hunters, caught up in a web of danger ... and in the elusive secrets of her own passionate heart.

Doch ihr Entsetzen steigert sich noch, als er seinen Freund herbeiholen läßt, den finsteren, ungepflegten Meredeth Carruthers, der von allen nur der "Tyrann" genannt wird. Phoebe ahnt nicht, das dieser Mann ihr Schicksal werden soll.
