The silver fox and the red-hot dove

A Man of Many Mysteries...

T. S. Audubon was fascinated by the shy Russian woman who accompanied the famous scientist. And he was filled with a reckless desire to release the fragile lady from her keepers! But when Elena Petrovic made her desperate escape, she was terrified to trust the impossibly wealthy Southern aristocrat. Could her handsome, enigmatic white-haired rescuer be the silver fox of her childhood fantasy, the only man who could set her loose from a hideous captivity, or did he plan to keep her for himself? In a moment of shocking violence, she struggled to elude him--then used her astonishing gift to save the man whose courage had uncovered her mystery. Her need to heal, his need to be comforted, forged their spirits in a fiery miracle that transformed fear into desire, and compassion into love. Enchanted by this woman of satin and secrets, Audubon feared he would betray her to save the son he cherished, but if he lived, could he give Elena what she longed for most: her freedom?
