My Lord Savage
Elizabeth Lane
Black Otter, Lenape chieftain, swore he'd return to his children, his land, his life. There was little to value in the white man's realm–except for one regal, openhearted woman of courage. Rowena alone gave him strength and hope–and awakened the possibility of love.Rowena Thornhill knew nothing of passion, her days being filled instead with study and family duty. But when she joined her fate with that of "her" captive, Black Otter, her proper English life became a whirlwind of danger and desire.
Rowena gasped as the savage caught her close.
Her heart hammered her ribs as she stared up into his smoldering black eyes. She knew better than to show fear, but her racing pulse would not obey the command to be still. Swallowing her terror, she took refuge once more in words.
“I’m not afraid of you,” she declared, meeting his stony gaze. “You didn’t hurt me when you had the chance. You won’t hurt me now. You need me too much for that.”
Boldly spoken, but her fluttering heart belied her bravado. She could feel the rise and fall of his chest through her bodice. Her own breath came in shallow gasps, as if she’d been running uphill. Every nerve in her body was taut and tingling, but a strange fascination had taken the place of fear. He was so large and wild and so…beautiful, like an unbroken stallion…!
