Dakota Dreams


Constance O'Banyon - 1988

Their attraction was undeniable, and the betrothed beauty couldn't keep from succumbing to her virile rescuer's charms. But when she discovered her mysterious lover was her buffalo-hunting fiance, she felt betrayed by the philanderer ... and swore she'd never relent to his velvet touch again! Chained by Heritage ... If his Indian father hadn't forced him into a deathbed promise, towering Dakota Remington would never have left his rugged Arapaho life for stuffy England. Since the muscular white brave had no choice, he decided to happily explore his paleface people's homeland ... until he discovered he'd become wed to one without his consent! But after the raven-haired warrior saw Breanna, he knew he had to conquer her as any male who'd found his mate. He could always leave her behind when he returned to his real nation. For now he'd pursue her, torment her, tease her -- and seduce her with the magic of his DAKOTA DREAMS...
