Web of Passion

by Nancy John

The feelings Dirk Lancaster, outback lord, raised in Risa were enough to leave her aching for his touch. Yet to be the woman he needed would challenge her as nothing had before.

This land of torrential rains and dry spells of searing intensity would reshape Risa into a woman open to life, ready for love, and ripe for the one man who could tame her heart and master the raging sun.

Reviews

[ANGELIA · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit too much of a soap opera, and both the OM and the H's sister got on my nerves, but it's still an entertaining story.
