La heredera perdida
Ella no recordaba nada de lo que le había ocurrido antes de ser capturada por los apaches y quedar después bajo la tutela de un convento. Pero de pronto le dieron un nombre, un pasado y, lo más importante, un futuro. Anna Regent Wright, heredera de Regent, había vuelto por fin a casa.
Brit Caruth no tenía la menor duda de que Anna era una impostora. Pero a medida que el calor del verano se hacía más intenso, también lo hacía otro calor muy diferente. La bella desconocida ejercía un increíble efecto en su cuerpo, pero jamás le permitiría acceder a la herencia que los Regent le habían prometido a él durante tanto tiempo.

About the author
Nan Ryan
36 books71 followersNancy Henderson is the middle daughter of a Texas rancher and postmaster. She's been married for many years to Joe Ryan, a television executive. Hisoccupation has taken them from border to border and coast to coast. Fortunately, writing is something that can be done anywhere - and Nan shouldknow. The Ryans have lived in Washington, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and their own home state of Texas. Nan says it was fun to move around the country and honestly believes that it has helped her writing. The library and the Internet offer a great deal of information on any given place, but there is nothing quite likeactually living in a locale where a book is set.
She began her writing career in 1981. She flirted with writing mysteries, but never finished any. Then, as fate would have it, she saw an article in Newsweek magazine entitled "From Bedroom to Boardroom." It was an interesting story on the women who were writing romance novels. Nan was intrigued. She had never read a romance. She bought a couple, read them, and knew she'd found her calling. She sat down at the Smith Corona typewriter and began her own romance. The first one never left her house. It is burieddeep in a trunk and Nan says it will never be shown to anyone. Her second book sold and she's been writing since. Twenty-two romance novels later, shestill enjoys writing and realizes she's been blessed to have found what she loves to do.
The winner of numerous awards, Nan Ryan says one of the nicest things ever written about her was printed in the St. Petersburg Times. Correspondent AnnV. Hull wrote: "Romance novelist Nan Ryan could step right into the pages of one of her paperbacks. Tall and slender, with smokey eyes and pearly skin,Nan Ryan looks like movie star Jessica Lange's older sister. Ryan writes the most imaginative and bold love scenes, some of which would surely shock herformer teachers at Abilene Christian University."

Brit is so far from my idea of a hero that I didn’t enjoy this book by Nan Ryan. Sadly, it was a chore to read about him and Anna.

I really loved LaDextra. She makes me wish my grandma was still here.

Me ha gustado la trama, aunque me ha parecido un poco corta en cuanto a los entendimientos que deberían tener los protagonistas. Lo que menos me ha gustado ha sido el detalle tan descriptivo de los dos cuando entran en la lujuria; no sé, me ha parecido demasiado. También creo que se podría haber profundizado más en lo que le pasó a ella en el pasado. Pero bueno, la historia se deja seguir y al final termina bien.

First time with this author. I have been wanting to read her so I came across this and I read it. Well it was okay but nothing special. I didn't like Brit the "hero" and the heroine was not brought to life for me. The conclusion was impossible to believe. I mean almost last pages and boom a revelation that just ruined book for me.

I first read this book over ten years ago. Needless to say I’ve never forgotten it. Such a beautiful, steamy love story. I found it to be romantic as well as historical. Nan Ryan shines in her element with this book. I enjoyed it back in the day and I loved reading it again.

April 9, 2018HEIRESS ... OR IMPOSTOR?
She has no memory of her life before being captured by the Apache and becoming ward of a convent. Then suddenly she is given a name, a past --- and most of all, a future beyond her wildest dreams. Anna Regent Wright, the long-lost Regent heiress, has come home at last.
ADVERSARIES ... OR DESTINED LOVERS?
There is no doubt in Brit Caruth's mind that Anna is an impostor. But as the summer heat grows, so does an unsettling heat of another kind. The beautiful stranger has a hold on his body but he'll be damned if he'll let her get her hands on an inheritance that the Regents have long said was his.
