East and west collide--and two lives will never be the same. A new love is rising in this thrilling novel…
of romance and revenge from Kristen Kyle. Captain Jake Talbert has come to San Francisco on an all-consuming quest for the precious samurai swords he once wore as a warrior in his adopted homeland of Japan. Jake will go to any lengths to retrieve the heirlooms--and the honor he lost along with them. He is prepared to fight if he must, but he does not foresee the battle he is about to face--or the spirited opponent determined to get in his way. Meghan McLowry has come to the waterfront in search of the notorious Captain Talbert after hearing of his fondness for sword collecting and his ability to fight as no westerner can. She makes him a deal: If he can protect her father from the deadly vengeance of the Tong, she will gladly hand over the five exquisite swords she received as a birthday present from her father. Little does she know that Talbert is no crude sailor to be bent to her will, but a dangerously seductive warrior who will stop at nothing to get what he wants--whether it's justice, respect, or a woman's heart. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Here Comes the Bride, The Wedding Chase, and About Last Night.By Deborah Simmons. 1996
