FEUDING FAMILIES Ever since a Mateo bull had trampled an Aragon vineyard the bordering ranches had had absolutely nothing to do with one another -- until young, virile Mano Mateo came upon the petite, alluring Aimee Aragon under an ancient oak tree. Captivated by her golden, gleaming hair & entranced by her firm, sumptuous curves, Mano's ardor could be cooled only one way. Lying about his name, the charming womanizer conquered his father's enemy. Only too late did he discover he was trapped by his fib... for after just one interlude, he knew he wanted the fairytale beauty forever! LOVING NEIGHBORS From the instant impetuous Aimee Argon met bold, reckless "Mark Perez," she knew he was the one man for her. In moments she felt her sensual lips slanting against hers; in minutes she sensed his rippling muscles above her velvety flesh. But when the proud heiress learned her ideal lover was a perfect liar, her fury was as raging as a desert downpour. Still, pride was cold & lonely, and as the long nights passed. Aimee realized surrender was sweet and divine. Hating Mano for his dishonesty, she couldn't help seeking the rapture of their steaming SUMMER SPLENDOR.
