"Toni," he said, "I can't just let you go out into the world, so that you can give your hungry little heart to the next rotter who comes along. Nor can I take you eternally sailing as my cabin boy. I can only make you my wife...." With every particle of her lonely young heart, Toni Fleet wanted to be with Luque de Mayo in whatever capacity he asked of her, but that didn't quiet her youthful apprehension about the future.

He was a man driven by the consuming memory of Roxanne, his evil but irresistible former wife. He wanted Roxanne to think Jane had replaced her in his heart.

"Keep your love. Did I ever ask for it?" Paul's voice rang out. His face was a taut sculpture, chiseled out of stone-as she felt certain his heart was. "No," Domini threw at him, "but you're not quite so inhuman as to enjoy for very long the companionship of a wife who hates you!" She couldn't weep. Tears had set like ice in her and the sweetness of today had turned to bitterness. The rings on her hands felt heavy-like manacles, she told herself. Shackles that bound her to a man who had forced her into a loveless disaster of a marriage.

As far as Melly could see, she and the worldly Jourdan Lanier had nothing in common, except the rare blood that flowed in their veins. Yet Jourdan wanted Melly as his wife, and not because she'd just saved his life. Melly was exactly the woman Jourdan needed at his Caribbean home to help him gain custody of his daughter. Besides, he'd never been able to resist a mystery... So when his daughter was lost to him, Jourdan concentrated on unearthing the secret that kept Melly from being a real wife to him.

"I want only what's best for you, Dina." Bella, Dina's godmother, sensed from their first meeting that Raf Ventura was a disruptive force. He wanted to save Dina from the perfect marriage Bella had arranged for her to one of California's most eligible bachelors. Raf was a dark, passionate stranger - a man as different from Dina's elegant friends as fire from ice. He was not acceptable in Bella's circles, so he couldn't be acceptable in Dina's heart. And yet nothing seemed able to keep them apart - not even Bella's startling act of revenge. That one hour with Raf Ventura had been more distressing to Dina Caslyn than anything that had ever befallen her. His words returned mockingly to her: 'You're a protégée for your godmother to be proud of. In a few more years the coatings of ice will be so thick on your flesh and your feelings that you'll glisten like a diamond - a lovely frosty diamond with no fire at its heart.' No, Dina knew, she couldn't risk seeing him again!

<b>Was this she had longed for?</b> Mrs. Amy du Mont was a rich, vulgar social climber. No wonder quiet, well-bred Altar Garret resented being trapped in her employ. It was through Mrs. du Mont's efforts that they met the imposing Spanish grandee, the Conde Estuardo Santigardas de Reyes--yet it was Altar who gained his interest. When he asked her, surprisingly, to marry him, he made it clear his proposal had nothing to do with love. Altar felt anything would be better than her present job. But what else might she get out of the marriage?

Jaine Dare was, to say the least of it, swamped by her spectacular relatives -- her aunt, a spoilt darling of the London stage, and her equally glamorous cousin Laraine. She was accustomed always to take back place to them and making herself useful in whatever way they wanted. So when Laraine decided that, after all, she did not want to go through with her planned marriage to her wealthy suitor, it seemed natural to them all that Jaine should take on the difficult task of explaining to him his fiancee's change of mind. Accordingly Jaine nerved herself to meet the imposing Pedro de Ros Zanto. But there was a surprise in store for her....

A place out of a dream - but to Persepha it seemed more like a nightmare from which she couldn't awake... A place to love - had she loved the Don, her husband. But Persepha didn't even know him and so the beautiful Hacienda Ruy seemed like a prison... Yet Don Diablo had said - and Persepha could only hope it was true - 'In Mexico, senorita, the knowing and the loving come after the marriage...'

When Roslyn Brant, flying out to North Africa to meet her fiance Armand Gerard, lost her memory in the plane crash that killed Armand, his family took her into their home on the edge of the Sahara until she found herself again. Armand’s grandmother and his brother Tristan were kindness itself — but his cousin Duane Hunter was another matter! ‘In many respects,’ he told her, ‘the desert is like a woman. Anything might crop up ... as in a relationship with a woman. But a man can enjoy the desert without getting involved — emotionally.’ Roslyn knew that he was making it plain that there was no room for her in his life. Then she realized that Duane was trying to tell her something else too — he did not believe she was Roslyn Brant at all.
