商品描述内容简介From the shimmering cities of a faraway land to the heather-scented hills of the Scottish Highlands comes this passionate tale of adventure and dangerous desire by one of America’s bestselling and beloved authors, Iris Johansen.
TIGER, TIGER, BURNING BRIGHT
In a locked room of shadows and sandalwood, Jane Barnaby first met the wickedly disturbing man whose searing blue eyes and brazen smile seem to read her deepest desires—a man who exudes the mystery and danger of exotic lands. In his mesmerizing presence, Jane finds herself instantly transformed from a hardheaded businesswoman to the willing slave of a passion she knows she must resist.
IN THE FORESTS OF THE NIGHT . . .
A man of sensuous grace and smoldering sensuality, adventurer Ruel McClaren brings the independent beauty back to his native Scotland to spin a web of revenge. But once at Glenclaren Castle, he finds it ever harder to play the unforgiving captor to this woman who touches his heart and makes his blood run hot.专业书评Johansen offers sex but precious little romance in this adventure tale set in late-19th-century India and Scotland. Jane Barnaby and her guardian, Patrick Reilly, are on the subcontinent building a railroad. Jane has hidden John Kartauk, a brilliant goldsmith who has crossed Prince Abdar, the local maharaja's son. Abdar (who is no more than a generic villain) strikes a deal with Ruel MacClaren and his half-brother, Ian, a pair of Scottish adventurers, to seek out Jane and John. Ruel soon suspects that he'll do better casting his lot with his quarry, and he's right: when he agrees to help Jane get John out of Abdar's clutches, John hands Ruel the secret to dealing with the maharaja. Unfortunately the escape plan goes awry in a horrible accident. Ruel blames Jane for the fiasco, and Johansen devotes much of the rest of this book to Ruel's efforts to make her pay--efforts that reach their nadir in his two-day "orgy of sexual indulgences," designed to debase and humiliate the woman he loves. It's hard to believe this is the same author who displayed such a splendid, light touch in The Wind Dancer.
