Despite her feelings for Wentworth, Anne allows others to persuade her to break off their engagement. Eight years later, when Wentworth returns from fighting against Napoleon's army, the difficult years of war have reversed fortunes. Now it is he who is rich, having won many prizes in battle, while the Elliots are deeply in debt and in danger of losing their good name.Will Wentworth seek revenge by choosing another woman over his former love? Can he walk away from Anne, or will the memory of her lips and her touch capture his love once again?ReviewVampire Darcy's Desire---9781569757314-14.95-Ulysses Press-11/2009---Darcy's Temptation---9781569757239-14.95-Ulysses Press-9/2009---Darcy's Passions---9781569756997-14.95-Ulysses Press-1/2009-7000--ReviewVampire Darcy's Desire978156975731414.95Ulysses Press11/2009Darcy's Temptation978156975723914.95Ulysses Press9/2009Darcy's Passions978156975699714.95Ulysses Press1/20097000About the AuthorRegina Jeffers is a veteran of the English classroom and Jane Austen enthusiast.
