description: Stormy Ecstasy
  
  Gabrielle St. James tried to do her share toward reconstruction after the war, but the constant pain of seeing her beloved Vicksburg in ruin was more than the young beauty could stand. So she planned a desperate action, to rob a train in order to get money to help the ones she loved.
  
  But she never expected to be shot and the last thing she remembered before losing consciousness was a pair of the deepest blue eyes she'd ever seen sharing her injury. Somewhere in the depths of her mind she felt his tender cares and his gentle kiss. She longed to wake up and respond the way she knew her body could.
  
  Lightning Rapture
  
  Alexander Fleming laughed at the gypsy who told him to beware of a beautiful woman with emeralds and flames, until he stopped a train robbery and found the fiery haired, green-eyed vixen of his dreams.
  
  Despite her ragged dress Alexander could tell that she was exquisite and fragile, and instead of stopping her crime he wanted to imprison her in his arms, kiss her creamy flesh, stoke her willing passion and embrace her with the fury of midnight thunder.
