title: Creole Caress
author: Leigh, Elizabeth
description: Having lost her beloved stepfather and inherited all his debts, beautiful Jenna Marchand had no choice. She had to turn to the one man who could help her, the arrogant Ragan Brannock. But could she trust him - and her own instincts? Especially since she hardly knew the tall, lean stranger, and her desire for him overrode her good sense. She wanted him, needed to feel his strong hands touching her, and desperately hoped that when she gave herself to her handsome, suave would be business partner she would not live to regret it...The ebony-haired Creole beauty was unlike any other woman Ragan Brannock had ever known. Yet if the only way to possess her was to assume her debts, then he would do it. For he was lost to her charms, her sweet, pouting mouth, her gentle, melodic voice. He ached to caress her full, ripe curves, to stroke her long, slender legs, to bury himself in the silky softness of her body. And he knew that once he took her in his arms, he would never want to leave her.
