Moonlight Rebel Marie Ferrarella (1992) Łakomy kąsek dla tropicielek polskich wątków w romansach - bohaterka to polska arystokratka Krystyna na emigracji
Ferrarella ma zresztą chyba polskie korzenie, bo wydawała też przecież jako Marie Rydzynski.
The Countess and the Barbarian!
She needed a safe havenComing to the colonies and living on a Virginia plantation in the midst of a brewing revolution was not the life Krystyna would have chosen. But she had been offered no choice when she fled her native Poland, just ahead of spies still looking for her. Why, her host could even be one himself! Krystyna hoped not, because when she took a good look at his powerfully taut body and fierce blue eyes, she wanted to share her most intimate treasures with him…
He needed her in his bedJason harbored the proud young woman with the promise to keep her safe, but he wasn't happy about it. Not only was she a Countess, unable to sympathize with the colonists' yearning for freedom, but she was a bewitching beauty who tempted him every second she remained under his roof. He would hide her from her enemies, but his protection had a sensual price--
Krystyna came to America a titled refugee, but Jason McIntire bought her as an indentured servant and took her home to his plantation. Spies out to trap her were everywhere and the fight for her virtue was relentless--until she finally found refuge in Jason's passionate embrace and learned what freedom really meant!
