The Tiger Lily (The Southern Women Series, Book 1) - Paperback

by Shirlee Busbee (Author)

As a young child, Sabrina del Torres fell in love with Brett Dangermond while at her aunt's wedding. But Carlos, Sabrina's cousin, wants Sabrina for himself.

Years later, at Sabrina's father's invitation, Brett arrives at the del Torres rancho. Sweet passion blooms between the pair, until Brett's previous lover mysteriously turns up, claiming Brett abandoned her and her unborn child to marry the rich Sabrina del Torres.

Bret does not deny the charges, neither does he claim to love Sabrina.

Then Sabrina's father is found murdered, and at the reading of his will, Sabrina learns she must marry a man of Brett's choosing or forfeit her fortune.

Brett, having vowed never to fall hostage to love, leaves the ranch, ordering Sabrina to remain until he returns. Now Sabrina can either dig up the truth that'll unlock Brett's heart or prepare to marry the man he chooses.
