Lover for Ransom - E-book - ePub

Ransom Byrne has been ravaged by guilt since an illness rendered his little sister blind. The former Confederate cavalry officer has resolved to make amends by hiring a Yankee tutor who'll hopefully restore order to his sister's life. Once accomplished, he'll be free to leave Byrne's End. From the moment she steps off the train in Tennessee, Cathleen O'Brien makes a startling first impression. With her feminist ideas, the irrepressible Bostonian quickly outrages everyone-especially Ransom.
He deems the bespectacled teacher too uptight and prim for his tastes. Appearances, however, are deceiving. She tenders decadent proposals that shock and intrigue him, and sultry nights spent submitting to his every illicit request offer them both love and redemption. But when her steadfast convictions attract the attention of dangerous men, Cathleen risks losing her chance of becoming more than just a lover for Ransom.
