She ran from the hunger of a husband she hated into the arms of a lover she feared... Proud and passionate Miranda Rollins fled her marriage to powerful, brutal Everett Royd, who moved in to possess her when her father died. It was then that she put her fate in the hands of handsome, daring Burch Chandler, the trader-adventurer who took her with him to seek fabulous fortune in the exotic Orient.
But Burch was reckless with Miranda's love, and she soon had no one to protect her when she found herself besieged by other men's lust. And even in far-off Japan, where a magnificent samurai turned her into his wildly willing slave, the sensual storm within Miranda raged with love's unquenched desire for the one man she must have for her very own....
From the gorgeous mansions and sordid shacks of old San Francisco...to the beauty and decadence of Imperial China...to the tender enticements and savage violence of feudal Japan -- here is the scorching romantic saga of a beautiful woman and the only man who could set her heart ablaze....
This is the first Gimone Hall book I've ever read, and I'm glad.
what an andventure reading this book was. i loved to read the details of Japan culture/tradition.
it wasn't a bad book, but it could have been a hell of a lot better. I never liked the hero or the heroine . I was much more drawn to the secondary characters. ...
What really impressed me about this book ,mansanobu, Japanese Samurai warrior , of course.lol.I've had a soft spot for Japanese heroes .Ah Takashi O'Brien, My Ruthless Hero… I was in tears about the way it ended for mansanobu.Page 362 I did not find the ending satisfyingly.And it was hard for me to get the love between the story's protagonists.
Another book I've read again for the first time. Like the Storm and the Splendor by Jennifer Blake, this is one of three books I read over and over when I needed a break from studying in law school. I remembered the story so well, but there were parts I'd forgotten until I read it again. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with historical romance.
