The Beast of rose hill
The Victorian splendor of the Sedleys' manor was a startling incongruity next to its half-naked heiress, but Julian was not surprised: he'd heard rumors of Anya's behavior since her shipwreck with pirates in the Caribbean. The young woman had been made a deity - a love goddess, no less! - by a tribe out there, and changed. She had returned an animal: lusty and domineering with no restraint at all. Yet if he were to tame her, he's hold the key to his dreams.
& DeButy
Anya found herself grateful. The suitor her grandmother had provided - the next man to attempt to reform her, to break her to polite North Carolina society - lived up to his name. He was a beauty. But he also claimed celibacy was the way to productivity and healt! The man was sick - even if he did have a good heart. Well, Anya had to cure.She would marry him, let him go about changing her ... then, when Julian least expected it, she'd show him just how wild she really was.

To Be Read - promised to Lluthiel/France (November 2003)

Sending to a bookcrossing friend in Singapore - Enjoy the collection of books

Did not expect this surprise, thanks for sending it.

Not a bad read, however it really takes a lot of effort to imagine a half-dressed heiress prancing around in polite society at that time, even if it's America. I do like the chemistry bewteen Anya and Julian though and the ending.

Putting this on the book exchange bookshelf, hope it finds a reader who likes it and will continue to journal it's journey.
