title: Cynara
author: Flores, Janis
description: Violated sadistically by a man with an insane lust for cruelty, Cynara Rosslyn is maliciously accused as the seductress and sent off penniless to Australia. To survive, she must suffer relentless degradation at the hands of men who rule by fear and abasement.
  
  Her days are filled with an obsessive need for vengeance ...her nights with unfulfilled longing for Evan Calder. Arrogantly handsome, magnetically appealing, he awakens fires of passion in her that can never be satisfied. For Evan was there that awful day, and he is a constant reminder of her shame; a tie to a past that must be vindicated.
  
  Even when her life-long enemy is destroyed, true triumph eludes Cynara. Her love for Evan can no longer be denied but he will not claim what they both most ardently desire...
