title: Ritual Sins
author: Stuart, Anne
description: A WOUNDED WOMAN
  
  Rachel Connery is a woman with a mission--to destroy Luke Bardell, the charismatic man who seduced millions of dollars from her dying mother, thus robbing Rachel of her inheritance. Now Rachel wants revenge--and she's willing to enter Luke's lair and risk the lure of his magnetic personality in order to get it.
  
  A DANGEROUS MAN
  
  Luke Bardell is a master manipulator. He always gets what he wants from people, and Rachel Connery looks like an especially easy mark. She is beautiful and angry and spoiled, and the challenge of melting her icy exterior inspires him. For Luke it is a standard ritual.
  
  DEADLY DESIRE
  
  But desire is a dangerous weapon that cuts two ways. Rachel could get trapped in a nightmare of forbidden feelings ... or she could use her strength and intelligence and fierce will to find a way into Luke's heart and force his utter surrender to her--body and soul.
