SELINDA -- She was a wild, sensuous gypsy girl, free with her love...but not with her heart. As long as she desired virile, defiant Ben Calder she would stay with him. She would bear him a son and leave her heritage behind...
ANNA -- The only man she had ever wanted had used her and left her with child. Now she would use Ben Calder. She needed a husband to help her claim her Texas land, a father for her baby -- but she'd never need his love...
BEN -- Filled with dreams of power and wealth, Ben was determined to leave Germany for America, where any man could make an empire. And as much as he craved Selinda's voluptuous beauty, he knew Anna was the woman who would shape his destiny...
From the gypsy caravans of Europe to the raw beauty of the Texas frontier, they fought for their dreams and desires -- and built an unforgettable dynasty.
