Texas Torment
ARROGANT COWBOY
Union officer Daniel Jordan moved South to take possession of his cattle ranch — and to stake his claim on Adelaide Caton, the golden-haired spitfire who ran the neighboring spread. He had met her once, before the war, and never forgot how he savored her milk-white skin and reveled in her ecstatic embrace. Because she was his enemy, he had loved her and left her. But because she had set his blood afire, he would win her passion again — or force her to sell him every last inch of her precious Southern soil!
INDEPENDENT HEIRESS
Adelaide's heart skipped a beat when she saw the rugged rancher. Her cheeks flamed when she remembered how he had tenderly kissed her from top to toe. Her flesh burned with the memory of how he discovered her desires and left her trembling with satisfaction. But most of all, the spirited beauty could never forget how he had run out on her to fight for the hateful Yankees! She swore she'd never give in to his masculine charm and sensuous touch ever again ... but before she could tell him to go, Adelaide was begging him to stay and quench the blaze of her raging Texas Torment.

MINI-REVIEW:
Catherine Creel liked using the "secretly married couple that is separated & then reunited under crazy circumstances" plot, didn't she? She had a similar thing going on in Passion's Chains. "Texas Torment," a Zebra Lovegram, is set in Texas, post-Civil War. Daniel's a Yankee, while Adelaide's family were Confederates. Daniel and Adelaide fell in love and eloped, but the war tore them apart. Adelaide's family moved to Texas to start a ranch. Daniel pursues and finds her, buying a neighboring ranch of his own. He agrees to keep their marriage a secret from her family and the townsfolk but is determined to win her love again.
Adelaide is an abrasive heroine and I really could not understand why she was so adamant against being with Daniel. He is such a better hero than she deserved. I wish I knew where I put this book because I had some passages marked noting Daniel's awesomeness. However, at almost 500 pages this premise wore thin, leading to a so-so experience that took me forever to finish.
