โฆ Synopsis
THE SPINSTER
Ellen Cornelius knows exactly what Mister Corey is: an unscrupulous swindler...a man without morals who will fleece her foolish old aunt out of her fortune. But as the group travels west in search of the fountain of youth, Ellen is both repelled and beguiled by his dark, compelling sexuality. Her only protection is to hide behind her prim, patronizing manner and her acid tongue.
THE SEDUCER
Steve Corey tests Ellen's fragile poise saying things to her that no gentleman would say to a lady. He enjoys infuriating her, takes great pleasure in shocking her. He's become the dark seducer of her dreams, delivering a thunderstorm of ecstasy to a lonely, unsophisticated woman who's been hurt and disappointed too many times before.
But he'd never dreamed that his seduction of Ellen would lure his own heart into uncharted territory as well....
