He would have kissed her again but she put up her hands. "Please darling, please... do not make me love you any more. It... frightens me not because I am afraid... but because it is so... perfect... so wonderful!" As if he understood he took her hands in his and raised them one after the other to his lips.

Originally published as AMERICAN DESTINY. LEGACIES OF A FAMILY DIVIDED BY HATRED, AND A PASSION TWO PEOPLE COULD NOT FORGET Debutante Diane Parmalee was a U.S. Army officer‘s daughter; Lije Stuart was the handsome Harvard educated son of the part-Cherokee Stuart clan. Nothing, not even their different worlds, seemed able to stop their love–except a tragic legacy. The wealthy Stuart family burned with the memory of the government‘s forced march of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. Now, as the nation exploded in civil war, Lije‘s family split in a violent feud, driving Lije to do the one thing Diane could not forgive–fight for the South. At his father‘s side, Lije was riding away on a journey of blood and sorrow, perhaps forever. The lovers‘ only hope was another legacy: a passion strong enough to reunite them before betrayal and death claimed their hearts… (Description copied from Goodreads.com)

Christina Dodd

"A su regreso de la Santa Cruzada, Raymond, conde de Avraché, confidente del rey y primo de la reina de Inglaterra, debe contraer matrimonio por orden del monarca con Juliana de Lofts, una rica heredera y señora de dos importantes castillos. Sin embargo, los hechos no siguen el curso esperado: en varias ocasiones, y sin posteriores disculpas, la dama lo ha dejado plantado frente al altar, convirtiéndolo en el hazmerreír de la corte. ¿Qué razones se ocultan tras el comportamiento de lady Juliana? Raymond decide averiguarlas y, para ello, oculta su identidad y se presenta ante tan difícil señora como maese constructor. Aunque existe un pequeño problema: ¡desconoce el arte de edificar fortalezas o barreras de defensa! Bajo este disfraz, el caballero penetrará en el interior del castillo y descubrirá a una delicada dama de valor y astucia incomparables, una madre entregada y mujer indomable que guarda un secreto insospechado."--Page 4 of cover. Ordered by the king himself to marry a man she does not know, Lady Juliana refuses and barricades herself behind castle walls, but her resolve begins to melt with the arrival of her intended, Raymond, the handsome Count of Avrache.
