Silver Tears

Alice Wiggins refused to cry as she saw her mother condemned as a witch and sent to the gallows in her English homeland. To escape the same fate, Alice fled to the New World colony of Maine, where an inheritance awaited her-and straight into the arms of an arrogant stranger; Christopher Gunn. The rugged backwoodsman ignited a restless sensuality deep inside her...his magnetism was too powerful to resist, and his caresses brought her to blissful surrender. In the strange beauty of the northeast woods, they were willingly enslaved by their desires. Yet Alice feared Christopher's heart was not hers alone...and to win his love, she challenged the violence of war and the hazards of nature. Vowing to fight for this magnificent man, she would sacrifice all for the sweet, insistent taste of his kisses. As the secrets of the past closed around her, she would defy even death for the glorious fever of love that was her true destiny...
