A Karen Robards classic—a gem of historical romance from the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author—Desire in the Sun is a magnificently sensual love story about a gentleman cruelly betrayed and enslaved, and the beautiful, pampered daughter of privilege whose passion saves him.
In this steamy romance by “the mistress of sizzling sensuality” (Romantic Times), the beautiful daughter of a plantation owner, Lilah Remy, is swept into a wild romance with the dazzlingly handsome man her family has just enslaved. Raised an English gentleman, Joss San Pietro finds himself caught up in the turbulent currents of the Deep South as he tries to right an ancient wrong. Destiny brings Joss and Lilah together as equals, then throws them together as mistress and servant onto tempestuous seas. Shipwrecked, marooned on a deserted island with only each other to depend on, they must work together to survive as the passion that has always sizzled between them blazes into a conflagration too hot to resist. They find themselves enmeshed in a love affair as fiery as it is forbidden…
I offer a hundred dollars! A gleam of challenge in the eyes, the lovely Lilah supports the scandalized look of the sales manager. Never in all of Virginia has a woman been seen buying a slave. However, it is the only way, for Lilah, to snatch from a certain death her handsome captain with emerald eyes. Joss, chained, humiliated, recognizes immediately the impetuous young girl who had ignited his senses with a single stolen kiss. Today she offers him her freedom, then both leave for Barbados. Their ship sinks, and they end up on a desert island. Lilah in turn experiences slavery, the slavery of the feverish embraces of a man who desires it and vibrates his whole body. But will he forgive him for have one day humiliated to save him better?
