CAUGHT BY FATE Cassandra Taggart was tired of obeying orders. Though her late husband's will required her to hire a man to run her Georgia plantation, the beautiful young widow was determined to manage things herself. To satisfy the lawyers, she invented Trane Taggart, her imaginary step-son, who would handle the estate with the necessary masculine flair. But her plans went awry when a handsome adventurer claiming to be Trane Taggart showed up on her doorstep. Cassandra knew the beguiling stranger had to be an imposter, and she meant to uncover all his dangerous deceptions...while trying to hide her own! BOUND BY DESIRE After twenty years of roaming free, Trane was ready to come home to Riveland Plantation and confront the father who'd always treated him with such contempt. Instead he found a black wreath on the door, and a bewitching, sharp-tongued vixen behind it. He'd be damned if he'd stoop to proving his identity to this conniving female who seemed intent on cheating him out of his inheritance. And he had no qualms about kissing the treacherous secrets right out of those rosy lips, and stroking that silken body into languid submission. He just never intended to succumb to the sensuous temptations of her Southern Seduction!
