ADVENTURE IN ROME Dacia Vancroft was young and pretty. And now she was in fabulous Rome, private nurse to Sir Marcus Cunningham. It would have been a thrilling week, if Sir Marcus hadn't been so hateful. He was rude, arrogant, and quarrelsome, and his dark eyes compelled her with their autocratic gaze. Was it any wonder she escaped one evening, dressed like a fairy-tale princess? Or that she let a handsome Italian Count kiss her in the enchanted moonlight. She didn't know what that kiss meant until it was too late for love!

She knew as they moved within her that she wanted him to kiss her, and she was afraid when he looked into her eyes that he would know exactly what she desired. Very slowly she obeyed him because it was impossible to do anything else. As she raised her eyes to his she was spellbound. She could see the fire blazing within him, and as something wild and wonderful leapt within her, she was drawn to him as if by a magical power that was irresistible....
