Stronger Than Yearning

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987. Available now for the first time in eBook! He was the man of her dreams! The same dark hair, the same mocking eyes; it was as if the Regency rake of the portrait, the seducer of Jenna's dream, had come to life. Jenna, believing the last of the Deverils dead, was determined to buy the great old Yorkshire Hall – to claim it for her daughter, Lucy, and put to rest some of the memories of Lucy's birth. Jenna had no way of knowing that a direct descendant of the black sheep Deveril even existed – or that James Allingham and his own powerful yearnings would disrupt her plans entirely.
