FROM BITTERSWEET TORMENT TO THE TRIUMPH OF DESIRE Brigid saw Edward only twice before that day when he took her as his unwilling bride, then bent her to his lust with the savagery of villainous delight. He had plans for their life together...plans that would put the Devil to shame. Brigid saw Jay only once to know, in that one instant, how very great a price she would pay to dwell forever in his strong, sun-bronzed arms. From London and bridal bondage, over pirate-ridden seas, to America and across Comanche land to Texas and the Alamo, Brigid would dare any hell...if only the thirst of her yearning heart might be quenched by Jay's love.
