"Christiana Montgomery Mathison was a famous journalist, uncovering the dirty secrets of some of the wealthier landowners. Until her father had her abducted by two men. The first, Asher Prescott, was handsome and blonde, and he made it clear from the start that he was interested. The other was tall, dark and mysterious, and he went only by Tynan. Chris found herself falling for him, but Ty wanted nothing to do with her. Through the wild and dangerous Washington Territory, Chris and Ty struggle to avoid the greed and intrigue that is threatening their lives, and their newfound love. Jude Deveraux's "The Temptress" is a fantastic book."
