Dream Lover

After five long years on a prison ship, Sean O'Toole, Earl of Kildare, makes his escape in order to carry out his plan of revenge upon the EngLishman who killed his brother and framed Sean for the crime. While imprisoned, Sean steeled his will against all sentiment and filled his mind with thoughts of retribution against the man he had hated for years. But at night, his dreams were filled with memories of his enemy's daughter, Emerald, whose fiery beauty had beguiled him when they met, and whose bold and fearless spirit he had never forgotten.

His memories of Emerald are not enough to prevent Sean from his plan: to kidnap Emerald and bring her to his home, where he will keep her long enough to bring disgrace upon her family. He steals Emerald away to his family's estate, and slowly gains her trust -- only to betray her with his lies.

Locked in prisons of their own making, Emerald and Sean must find a way to break free of their bonds, or risk losing themselves -- and each other -- forever.
