In a Rebel's Arms
PRISONER OF DESIRE
Caroline Winwood had come to the island of San Germaine to find her father. But she'd barely arrived before she was whisked off by the military police, threatened, then just as suddenly "rescued" by dark, mysterious Major Christoffe Santini.
His lavish home became her prison. But it was her jailer who truly possessed her, with the fire in his eyes and the passion in his forbidden caress. Even as they ran from deadly peril in a country about to erupt in violence, Caroline was lost in a sea of desire as wild and dangerous as the man who aroused it. Her fate was in Christoffe Santini's hands, but who was he really--her enemy, or something much more?

Ridiculous
November 27, 2015
Unbelievable! I mean does this make sense? The dude has been bitten by a bushmaster and the heroine ties a napkin around his leg, makes two cuts, squeezes the leg so it will bleed,sucks the blood, and then helps him to walk to the village an hour away. The next night he has chills and because he is shaking so the heroine takes all of her clothes off except her under-drawers and crawls in the sack with him. Why she needed to be naked to warm him I don't know. This was set on an island in South America so you know it wasn't cold. Of course when the fever breaks and he is all sweaty it makes perfect sense for her to strip his clothes off and crawl back in the sack with him. Then the guy wakes up and has sex with her? I guess the author had to have an excuse to make that happen. The heroine has only known him a few days and he had imprisoned her, so what would be the overwhelming attraction here? Really badly written. Read on openlibrary.com
