Plumed Serpent

by Annabel Murray

Already successful as a portrait artist, Josslyn Ransome now found herself acclaimed as a travel writer, author of the Mexican Sketchbook which she had researched at such a high price to her personal well-being. In spite of her natural self-assurance and independence inherited from her father, she had agreed to the demands made upon her by Juan de Grijalva, agreed that he should act as her guide around his beautiful but primitive country of Mexico, agreed with his insistence on non-involvement. And yet, she could not prevent the unbidden reaction of her body to his very presence; whatever happened, he must not know of her instinctive longing!

Reviews

[RomLibrary]

I won't tolerate any interference!"

Yet even as she protested Josslyn knew it was useless. Juan de Grijalva could have the whole project canceled if she didn't accept his guidance.

The trip to produce a Mexican sketchbook in tribute to her late adored explorer father was Josslyn's dream--planned as a solo expedition.

Josslyn bitterly resented Juan's chauvinistic attempt to curtail her independence, resented his familiarity. Most of all, she resented the fact that she found him attractive, disturbing . . . that he could make all her senses quiver!
