Promises from the Past

by Victoria Bruce

HER FATHER SMELLED OF THE SEA... HER MOTHER SMELLED OF VIOLETS... A faint scent, a distant memory, and an age-old hurt weren't much to go on, but lovely Maggie Westshire had no other recollections of her missing father. Now she found herself on a painful quest for answers -- a journey that began in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and led her back through the years, into the strong arms of Shea Younger. His was a different era, a time of danger and excitement, and he promised Maggie a passion like none she had ever known. And while she was determined, against all odds, to continue her search for her father, Maggie didn't know how much longer she could resist Shea's considerable charms, or the sweet ecstasy she found in his timeless embrace.
