LOVE'S PERILOUS FLIGHT Calculating and brutal, Thomas Guilford posed an ultimatum to his beautiful young ward Laura Darby: Marry him and surrender her fortune, or risk burning at the stake like hundreds of other heretics under Bloody Mary's Catholic rule. Laura might have settled for the marriage had she not been drawn to Thomas' darkly mysterious, powerfully virile twin John... When Laura discovered the terrible truth about the man she was about to marry, it was John who came to her rescue... carrying her away from the treacherous estate—to face the perils of a raging sea... and the torments of a passion as deep and dangerous as the ocean, and as glorious as the heavenly skies.
