title: The Major's Wife
author: Sims, Beverly
description: A military fort in the 1800s is no place for a refined young lady, but headstrong Lucretia insists on joining her new husband, Major Jeffrey Sawyer. From the moment Captain Black Eagle Grant sees the Major's wife, he knows there will be trouble. Lucretia is as radiant as a morning sun but as dark as a moonless night, her eyes teeming with warmth and desire that will change all their lives. Lucretia dislikes Eagle on sight and yet, strange desires for him wash through her in the night, even as she gives herself over to the lovemaking of her husband, who cannot believe his luck to have married such a woman, one who takes from him and demands more. Amidst the dangers of the prairie, their lusts explode during a time of hate and unspeakable deeds, where men and women die, but desire never does.
